| Alfie Lamb car seat death: Man admits manslaughter | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| A man has admitted crushing a three-year-old to death by reversing his seat as the boy sat in a car footwell. | |
| Stephen Waterson killed Alfie Lamb, his girlfriend's son, in February 2018. | |
| He initially denied manslaughter but changed his plea to guilty ahead of a retrial at the Old Bailey. | |
| In May, Alfie's mother Adrian Hoare - who watched as her son was crushed - was jailed for two years and nine months after being found guilty of child cruelty. | |
| Sentencing her, Mr Justice Kerr told Hoare: "There was an element of deliberate disregard for Alfie's welfare." | |
| The court had heard that Waterson became annoyed at Alfie's crying on a journey back from a shopping trip and moved his seat into him as he sat in the footwell at his mother's feet. | |
| Alfie collapsed in the car and died in hospital three days later. |
