Stomped on an Infant?

News adapted from news.com.au , 6 August.

A 35 years old man had imposed more than 10 years of imprisonment for brutally killed his girlfriend's baby son. This man has once served around 9 years in prison for the shooting manslaughter of a man in 1996 before he committed this crime again.

On the 7 November 2007, the man came home from a drinking session at a Blacktown hotel in Sydney's west. The baby's mother described the man was drunk, angry and very aggressive. He lifted the child, holding him around the neck with both hands, and shook him violently while chocking him. The baby's whole body was shaking, making a gurgling noise and having difficulty to breath. The man then just threw the baby back onto the mattress and stomped on his chest. By the time paramedics arrived, the baby had already stopped breathing had had no pulse.

Although the couple tried to hide the sin at first, the baby's mother finally made admissions three months after the incident. The man was charged with brutal murder and his earliest date of release from prison is December 2018.

I believe that most of us, after reading this news would definitely feel dismay and sad over the incident. Life is brittle. An innocent life can be ended in just a single second. Treasure every moment you have with your love ones and respect others' lives at the same time. A peace and harmony world will only be achieved with respect, tolerance and endurance.
