Kane Mitchell, 31, left Teddie Mitchell with injuries that some authorities have compared to those suffered by Baby P.

A child killer is seen in tears on film as he is arrested over the murder of his girlfriend's 12-week-old son.

Kane Mitchell, 31, left Teddie Mitchell with injuries that some authorities have compared to those suffered by Baby P.


Some of the injuries include broken ribs, fractures to his skull and collarbone; and brain, spinal and eye damage.

Mitchell killed little Teddie in the flat he lived in with the boy's mother, Lucci Smith, 29, in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, in 2019.

A body camera has captured the moment Kane is arrested while pretending to be a loving father in hospital.

He shouts: 'I don’t f***** think so. Oh my god, I would never hurt a baby. I’m not leaving my son'.

Detectives were able to prove Kane killed Teddie using medical evidence of the awful injuries sustained.

The film footage shows Mitchell holding his victim in intensive care as he sobs: “Come on baby, Daddy’s here.”

The footage comes from a special in the Channel 4 show 24 Hours in Police Custody.

Detective Lucy Thompson, who led the investigation, said of Kane Mitchell: 'He is completely devoid of any remorse or empathy, that’s the thing I find really hard. It’s all about Kane and not what Teddie’s been through'.

Mitchell, who was not Teddie's father, was jailed for a minimum 18-year term at Cambridge Crown Court in February.

Teddie Mitchell's mother, Lucci Smith, was convicted of cruelty to a child. The trial heard that she did not dial 999 for more than 30 minutes despite being told to do so.
