Emma Barnett, 36, has been found guilty of murdering her one-year-old son, Oakley. Several reports say Oakley died after Barnett fed him a “lethal” milk mixture containing prescription medication. Prosecutors also describe Barnett as becoming concerned that the child would be removed from her care, and that she took steps to hide him. The accounts agree that Barnett was later found in a loft with the seriously ill child. Police had visited and, according to one report, became increasingly concerned for Oakley’s welfare. One outlet adds that Barnett already had five older children taken away by authorities before Oakley was due to be removed as well. All sources presented here describe Barnett’s conviction for Oakley’s murder and her conduct around the child’s final period, including the alleged medication and the decision to conceal the infant. The reports do not provide details of the court’s reasoning in the material provided.
