A man who murdered his ex-girlfriend’s two-year-old son has been jailed for life after the couple’s horrific abuse was captured on secret recordings.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kyrell Matthews died in October 2019 with 41 rib fractures and internal injuries after weeks of cruelty by Kemar Brown and Phylesia Shirley at his south London home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Brown, 28, was convicted of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 25 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Shirley, 24, was found guilty of manslaughter and jailed for 13 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Much of the abuse was caught on audio recordings made at the property in Thornton Heath which were played to the jury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The toddler could be heard crying and screaming on files taken from Shirley’s phone, which picked up the sound of Kyrell being hit repeatedly, with Brown saying “shut up” and “you have to ruin the fun”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Another recording played during the trial at the Old Bailey caught Shirley striking her son, causing him to break down in distress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
