Baby killer Ashley John McGregor sentenced to 10 years in jail for son Alvin’s death

A dad who shook his 19-day-old baby son and then did nothing as the little one’s condition deteriorated has been sentenced to a decade behind bars.

Ashley John McGregor was sentenced in the South *********** District Court on Wednesday for the manslaughter death of his son Alvin, who died some 42 hours after being shaken.

The injured baby had a swollen upper lip, could not open his left eye, and seemed drowsy and unable to feed properly following his father’s act of violence.

Neither McGregor nor Alvin’s mum Rebecca Lea Denton sought medical treatment for their son, even though both knew he had suffered serious injuries.

McGregor pretended he had accidentally knocked over the baby’s bassinet to cover up his brutal act, which happened on April 21, 2021.

Alvin died on the morning of April 23 that year.

Judge Paul Muscat found McGregor guilty of manslaughter and criminal neglect in March, then on Wednedsay slapped him with a 10-year sentence.

McGregor is already serving an eight-year jail term for unrelated offences, with the 10-year sentence to be added onto the existing term. He will now serve out an 18-year sentence.

The non-parole ******* for all offences is 13 years.

More to come.
