The youth perished when law enforcement was sent to his residence in Droitwich while investigating an allegation that he had fallen asleep in the bathtub in February 2021. Carla Scott, 37, Alfie’s mother from Droitwich, was convicted of manslaughter after being acquitted of murder. Her paedophile partner, Dirk Howell, 43, also referred to as ‘Dean,’ from Aston, was found guilty of her murder.
Carla Scott was additionally found guilty of child cruelty offences, which Howell had previously acknowledged. Carla Scott received a cumulative sentence of 27 years’ imprisonment for manslaughter and child cruelty, with a minimum term of 17 years.
