Evil mother Sian Hedges can be seen lying in police footage that she had not touched her murdered son Alfie as she was jailed with her boyfriend for life today.
In the back of a patrol cruiser, Hedges is seen holding a Coca-Cola bottle while being questioned by a police officer over her son’s injuries.
Hedges responds: ‘What do you mean?’ before declaring ‘you’re joking’.
The appalling mother can then be seen lying through crocodile tears as she says, ‘I haven’t done anything to him’.
Hedges and her ex-partner were sentenced to life in prison today for the “wicked and torturous” killing of the helpless child.
Less than two months had passed since she and her ex-partner Jack Benham brutally murdered 18-month-old Alfie Phillips in their trailer home in Kent during a “frenzied” attack in 2020.
During lockdown, Alfie was beaten to death and suffocated by the nasty duo, resulting in over 70 injuries to his small body.
Fueled by cocaine, whisky, and cannabis until the early hours of the morning, Hedges, 27, and Benham, 35, carried out a night of ‘violent discipline’ after calling Alfie ‘whingey and upset’.
The toddler was brutally attacked at Benham’s caravan in Hernhill, near Faversham, Kent, and died with a “myriad of bruises,” fractured ribs, arms, and legs, as well as signs of cocaine and alcohol in his system.
A court today sentenced the vile pair to life in prison, with Benham serving 23 years and Hedges serving 19 years.
Hedges met her former soldier lover Benham in September 2020 at a mutual friend’s house, where the pair would buy drugs. She was still dating Alfie’s father, Sam Phillips, at the time.
Evil Hedges would get high with her new lover in drug binges. But she would return to Mr Phillips, adding: ‘It was like he held me under a spell.’
In a victim impact statement read in court, a heartbroken Mr Phillips said: ‘After the trial, we still feel we deserve answers. I will never know the truth about what happened to my son.
‘I never got to hear him say his first proper words, I never got to have a conversation with him, I was robbed of the opportunity to see him grow up.’
Reacting to the sentencing, a heartbroken Mr Phillips said his son’s killers had ‘finally got what they deserved’.
It took the jury over 10 hours to find the two guilty after a nine-week trial at Maidstone Crown Court in the previous year.
The sentence that they both got was not long enough, they should have both got life without parole, but then the law is not fit for purpose and must be changed.
A life sentence should mean a life sentence, meaning it should be until one takes their last breath, and why did the mother receive a lesser sentence? She was the mother, surely it was her job to protect her child first and foremost, so why such leniency? What, a woman is a protected species where the courts are concerned?
Although I find it horrifying that any person could be that wicked, I’m not surprised, and nineteen years and twenty-three years is not life. They should never see the light of day again because this little boy can’t, and they’re just pure evil.
It seems that more children are killed by their parents than by dogs these days, and you would think it would be the opposite. People like this should never be allowed to have children again.
