A mother who killed her stepson by slapping him 'multiple times' and filmed him as he lay dying from a brain injury has been visited in prison by the boy's father and their daughter.

Leila Borrington, 23, was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Thursday for the manslaughter of autistic three-year-old Harvey Borrington who died in hospital in August 2021.

But Borrington has enjoyed 'regular' visits at HMP Foston Hall, Derbyshire, from her fiancé Jonathan Borrington and their three-year-old daughter, according to the Sunday Mirror.

Relatives also said the couple are still planning to get married and the family believe Harvey's death was a tragic accident.

The boy's grandfather Keith Borrington, of Nottingham, said: 'He's been visiting her and they have a daughter together.
