Couple guilty of 'shocking' murder of their own baby son

'MIGUEL TRAGICALLY LOST HIS LIFE BY HIS PARENTS, WHO WERE MEANT TO PROTECT HIM'

- By ADAM EVERETT

A COUPLE have been found guilty of murdering their baby son.

Klevi and Nivalda Santos Pirjani had sought to blame each other for their son's death, with the mother even alleging the father lost control and headbutted the youngster.

Liverpool Crown Court charged had heard Miguel Pirjani died aged 13 weeks in November last year.

The mother and father were accused of systematically abusing their baby before his death.

He was found to have suffered numerous broken bones and a bleed on the brain.

They had denied murder but both were unanimously convicted yesterday. The couple were seen to be in tears in the dock as the verdict was returned, as were the jury of six men and six women.
