Mum of murdered toddler Santina Cawley speaks out 'My heart's in pieces'

The heartbroken mother of murdered toddler Santina O’Donoghue Cawley says she is haunted by the image of her baby daughter suffering a brutal beating.

Santina was found unresponsive with multiple injuries at the flat two hours after her father Michael Cawley left her there alone with Harrington. The friend offered to mind Santina overnight after she fell asleep on the couch, but the offer was refused. She said: “I waited for three years to find out what happened to my child. The trial brought it all back, all over again.

Her post-mortem recorded 49 external injuries and several internal haemorrhages, including a complex skull fracture, a traumatic brain injury and a severe spinal chord injury.
