I hope baby attacker is jailed for a long time

Sicko beat tot who lost mum to cancer

- RYAN THOM

A GRAN hopes a vile baby beater rots behind bars after he left her tragic daughter’s infant battered and bruised.

Sick Mark Tannahill, 38, carried out a three-month reign of terror on the baby girl which left her with broken ribs and a fractured skull.

The tot, who cannot be named to protect her identity, was attacked after her mother died from cancer in 2021, weeks after giving birth.

The baby’s gran, who rescued the child, revealed the baby had bruising on her face at the funeral.

The mum, in her 30s, was 30 weeks pregnant when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and a 7in tumour was found.

She was forced to deliver prematurely at 34 weeks before her death weeks later.

At times Tannahill was left alone with the newborn but the gran of two realised something wasn’t right.
