A lying boyfriend who killed his partner s toddler was today found guilty of murder.
Simpson, 25, offered to mind 22-month-old Jacob while the child s mum Emma Marshall went to the hairdressers.
He gave several different explanations for Jacob s death - first claiming he fell off a couch, later saying I dropped a baby down the stairs , and finally suggesting the toddler fell down the stairs.
Simpson admitted that he lied initially because it would look like bad parenting to say he left Jacob unsupervised.
