A man from Swansea has been found guilty of the murder of a five-month-old baby.
29-year-old Thomas Morgan, from Gorseinon, had pleaded not guilty to the murder of Jensen-Lee Dougal at home on Players Avenue, Clydach, which took place while Jensen-Lee’s mother was in work on March 31 2024.
However, a jury has today found him guilty of murder, as well as one count of GBH.
Detective Chief Inspector Lianne Rees said:
“Today’s conviction brings some measure of justice, but in no way eases the profound heartbreak Jensen-Lee’s family continue to endure.
“I want to pay tribute to the members of the public, first responders and everyone involved in the desperate efforts to save Jensen-Lee’s life, when faced with the most unimaginable and tragic circumstances back in March 2024. I also want to acknowledge the incredible dignity and strength shown by Jensen-Lee’s family throughout this painful journey.
“Lastly, I would like to thank the investigation team, Crown Prosecution Service and Prosecution Counsel for their continued hard work throughout what has been a very difficult investigation and trial.”
Morgan is due for sentencing on February 25.
