Re: Poof couple murders their adopted baby
A fitness instructor "assaulted, abused and ultimately murdered" his 18-month-old adopted daughter, a court has heard.
Matthew Scully-Hicks is accused of inflicting serious injuries on Elsie Scully-Hicks before she died in May 2016.
The 31-year-old had formally adopted Elsie with his husband, Craig Scully-Hicks, just a fortnight earlier, Cardiff Crown Court heard.
The part-time fitness instructor denies murdering the child at the couple's home in Cardiff.
The court heard that at about 6.20pm on 25 May, Wales Ambulance Service received a 999 call from Scully-Hicks reporting that Elsie was unresponsive.
Paul Lewis QC, prosecuting, told the jury that paramedics went to the house and found Elsie was not breathing, with no sign of a heartbeat.
She received first aid from paramedics at the scene before being taken to the University Hospital of Wales, and died in the early hours of 29 May.
Mr Lewis said: "We allege that his (Scully-Hicks') actions on the late afternoon/evening of 25 May were the tragic culmination of a course of violent conduct on his part towards a defenceless child - an infant that he should have loved and protected, but whom he instead assaulted, abused and ultimately murdered."
Medical tests found Elsie had suffered bilateral subdural haemorrhages - bleeding on both sides of the brain.
Evidence of both recent and older bleeding on the brain was also discovered, with haemorrhages also found in front of both of Elsie's eyes.
A post-mortem revealed Elsie had also suffered several broken ribs, a fractured left femur and a fractured skull.
The court heard she had been removed from her natural mother, a drug user, within days of being born in November 2014, and placed in the care of Vale of Glamorgan Council.
She went to live with the couple in September 2015.
It was agreed that Matthew Scully-Hicks would give up full-time work to care for any children, with his husband continuing his job as a company director.
