A heartbreaking case is unfolding in Swansea Crown Court where Thomas Morgan stands accused of the murder of five-month-old Jensen-Lee Dougal. The tragic incident took place in March 2024, and while Morgan denies the charges, the court has heard troubling details.
Prosecutors claim that Morgan, acting as a stepfather, violently shook the baby during an alleged angry outburst, resulting in catastrophic brain injuries. Jensen-Lee was rushed to a Cardiff hospital, where sadly, doctors could do nothing to save him, and he passed away in his mother’s arms.
The court heard about a heated exchange of texts between Morgan and his ex, where he hurled insults, showcasing the turbulent relationship. Amid this backdrop, Morgan claims innocence, stating that the baby was happy and healthy when he left the room to fetch clothes, only to return and find Jensen-Lee unresponsive.
Evidence presented includes CCTV footage from the day proving interactions between the family at a local pub and Jensen-Lee appearing active and playful. Later, Morgan was seen handing the baby over a fence to a neighbour, attempting to get help as emergency services were called.
The trial, expected to last four weeks, will delve deeper into these distressing events, with jurors weighing evidence, including text exchanges and witness testimonies, to seek justice for little Jensen-Lee. This tragic story continues to unfold. 🌟👶💔 #JusticeForJensenLee #Swansea #HeartbreakingStory
