Yet Another Tragedy.
Foster mother accused of murdering one-year-old boy she hoped to adopt confessed to hitting him while being quizzed by social worker as he lay dying on life support, court hears
Laura Castle, 38, made the confession while one-year-old Leiland-James Corkill (right) was in hospital having suffered catastrophic head injuries, Preston Crown Court heard. The youngster had been living with his prospective adoptive parents - Laura Castle and her husband, Scott (pictured together, left), 35 - when emergency services were called to their home in Barrow-in-Furness on January 6 last year. Laura Castle claimed Leiland-James had fallen from a sofa while she was in the kitchen but medics at Liverpool's Alder Hey Children's Hospital raised concerns the injuries did not match her account. When questioned about her story, she told a social worker that she had 'previously tapped or slapped Leiland-James', the court heard today. Laura Castle has since pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Leiland-James, who lived with her for less than five months, but she denies murder and child cruelty. Scott Castle has pleaded not guilty to causing or allowing the death of Leiland-James and also to child cruelty.
