Father jailed for 21 years for 'sadistic' murder of daughter
Carl Wheatley has been jailed for 21 years for the "sadistic" murder of his four-year-old daughter Alexa-Marie Quinn.
The four-year-old died on 12th March last year after suffering from what the pathologist described as "extreme blunt-force trauma". 66 injuries were recorded on her body.
Carl Wheatley, 31, from Hatfield, Hertfordshire, admitted manslaughter but the jury rejected his plea of not guilty on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
