A man who murdered his girlfriend's toddler when she went to the hairdressers has been jailed for a minimum of 19 years.
Jacob Marshall suffered injuries to his body and a fatal head injury at his home in Speke in July 2019.
Jonathan Simpson was convicted of murder at Liverpool Crown Court but has kept how Jacob died a "murky secret".
Emma Marshall said she would regret leaving her 22-month-old son with Simpson, 25, for the "rest of my life".
Jacob had suffered a "catalogue of injuries" and was taken to hospital after emergency services were called to Belsford Way on 12 July.
