THIS ISN'T JUSTICE

THE gran of a baby who was battered by an evil brute has slammed his four-year prison sentence.

Violent Mark Tannahill, from Crosshouse in Ayrshire, left the tiny infant, who can't be named for legal reasons, with broken ribs and a fractured skull after her mum died from cancer eight weeks after giving birth.

The 38-year-old was jailed for four years and five months at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court yesterday after being found guilty of behaving in an abusive or threatening manner after shouting and swearing at the baby.

He was also found guilty of assaulting the child and it was ruled he compressed and shook her and inflicted trauma to her head and body, to her severe injury and to the danger of her life.

Her grandmother said the sentence didn't feel like justice for the tot who, she said, is suffering lifelong injuries.

In a statement via lawyers Digby Brown she said: "No sentence would ever be enough but four years is not quite fair.
