Overview

• Thomas Morgan, 28, has been charged by South Wales Police with the March 2024 murder of five-month-old Jensen-Lee Dougal in Swansea.
• At his July 11 hearing at Swansea Magistrates Court, Morgan was remanded in custody and will return for a pretrial hearing on July 14.
• His arraignment follows the unanimous conviction earlier this month of Thomas Holford, 25, by a Canterbury Crown Court jury for murdering his five-week-old daughter through severe shaking.
• The back-to-back prosecutions have intensified scrutiny of shaken baby syndrome and spurred calls for tougher judicial measures against infant homicide.
• During Holford’s trial, jurors heard he showed little emotion and continued playing games on his phone as his daughter was rushed to hospital with fatal brain and bone injuries.
