Overview
- Luton Crown Court sentenced Humphreys, 33, to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 21 years on 28 January 2026.
- He was found guilty of murder and child cruelty after expert evidence showed Archie’s fatal brain injury and fractures were non-accidental.
- Instead of calling 999, Humphreys spent nearly 90 minutes online and took Archie to a relative’s home before paramedics were contacted.
- He lied to paramedics and police about being present, and he admitted conspiracy to pervert the course of justice alongside three associates.
- Sharon Humphreys was jailed for nine months, Karen Smith for 12 months and Sam Wyatt for 15 months, as the judge noted Humphreys had been on bail with a condition barring unsupervised contact with children.
