A man has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering a father just 12 days after his son was born, leaving a family devastated.
The incident happened in July last year. Black lost control after hearing rumors about infidelity. He confronted Henderson in a hospital toilet and then followed him outside. What happened next was shocking. Black kicked and stamped on Henderson, even after he was knocked out.
CCTV footage captured the whole brutal attack. Black delivered 20 kicks and stamps, mostly to Henderson’s head. It was a prolonged and vicious assault.

Henderson’s partner, Vikki Elliott, spoke about the pain of losing him. She said their youngest son would never know his dad. The judge described Black’s actions as calculated and brutal. He noted that Black had a history of violence and aggression.
After the sentencing, Henderson’s family shared their grief. They said they couldn’t believe he was gone and that their hearts were broken. They remembered him as a protective and loving brother.
