Heartbreaking news has emerged from Clydach, where a man was convicted of murdering his partner’s five-month-old baby, Jensen-Lee Dougal. Thomas Morgan, at the centre of this devastating case, violently shook the infant, leading to catastrophic brain injuries.
The tragic chain of events began after Morgan engaged in a heated text exchange with his ex-partner. Left alone to care for Jensen-Lee that afternoon, Morgan was reportedly agitated after the argument. What followed was a moment of unthinkable violence that no one could have foreseen.
Despite neighbours and paramedics’ desperate efforts, Jensen-Lee’s condition was critical. He was whisked off to Cardiff’s University Hospital of Wales, where CT scans revealed the horrifying extent of his injuries. Jensen-Lee’s young life ended in the arms of his heartbroken mother, Jordan, who made the unimaginable choice to end life support.
At Swansea Crown Court, Morgan was found guilty of murder and inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent. The jury took just three and a half hours to reach their verdict. He’s now awaiting a life sentence, the duration of which will be determined later this month.
The community’s response has been one of disbelief and mourning, with many commending the swift actions of neighbours who tried to save the little boy. This tragic story serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerability of children and the devastating effects of domestic violence.
