Murder *

Sentence

Life imprisonment with minimum term of 17 years

Katie Tidmarsh, a foster carer in the process of adopting one-year-old Ruby Thompson, murdered the child in August 2012 at the family address in Littlethorpe, Leicester, by shaking her and causing a high-energy impact, leading to catastrophic brain damage. Ruby suffered a seizure and stopped breathing, prompting a 999 call; she died two days later. Tidmarsh delayed seeking medical help and claimed Ruby fell backwards onto a thick rug after her eyes rolled back, but medical experts disproved this, attributing injuries to abuse. X-rays revealed two previous fractures to Ruby's right shoulder and a broken arm treated two weeks prior, which Tidmarsh attributed to a dog knocking her over. Tidmarsh was also found guilty of one count of causing grievous bodily harm relating to prior arm injuries. The case took 11 years to reach court following an inquest and 2017 proceedings that ruled she inflicted the fatal injuries.

Found guilty of murder and one count of causing grievous bodily harm. Sentencing judge Mr Justice Mark Wall noted her actions constituted a gross breach of trust, that she was ill-equipped to raise a child due to mental health difficulties which she covered up, and that she delayed medical treatment to cover up the abuse. The judge sentenced her on the basis that she abused Ruby that morning and lied to cover it up.
