Thomas Morgan Convicted of Murdering Five‑Month‑Old Jensen‑Lee Dougal

The judge set a February 25 hearing to decide his minimum term before parole on an automatic life sentence.

Overview

  • A jury at Swansea Crown Court found Morgan, 29, guilty of murder and of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent.
  • Jurors acquitted him of two additional GBH counts linked to older rib fractures identified on the infant.
  • Expert medical evidence showed catastrophic brain injury, bleeding in the spine and behind the eyes, and multiple fractures consistent with violent shaking.
  • Prosecutors said Morgan acted after a rage‑fueled dispute with an ex‑partner, citing abusive text messages sent earlier that day.
  • Morgan claimed the baby choked and said he could not call 999, with a neighbour performing CPR before hospital staff briefly restored a pulse and life support was withdrawn the next day.
