Toddler suffered '50 injuries in frenzied attack'
A mother and her former partner have been given life sentences for the murder of her 18-month-old son during "a lengthy night of violence".
Alfie Phillips died on 28 November 2020 with more than 70 visible wounds and traces of cocaine in his body.
Sian Hedges, 27, and Jack Benham, 35, had denied murdering the toddler in Kent.
At Maidstone Crown Court, Hedges was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 19 years.
Benham was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 23 years.
The judge, Mr Justice Cavanagh, said the 'frenzied attack' on Alfie Phillips must have lasted a 'considerable time'.
