A man has been jailed for life for the murder of his 11-year-old son.
Michael Harrison, 41, inflicted fatal injuries on “undernourished” Mikey Harrison in Heanor, Derbyshire, in June last year.
He then waited for almost four hours to call an ambulance.
In sentencing, Judge Shaun Smith KC said the defendant hit and punched Mikey “many times”, including one blow that was “so hard it lacerated his liver”.
He said the defendant lied about the killing and taken the victim to a park as part of an attempted cover-up.
Harrison initially pleaded guilty to manslaughter, but last month admitted murder.
He will serve a minimum term of 21 years and six months.
