Father who killed ill son avoids jail term

A FORMER soldier who killed his terminally-ill son walked free from court yesterday after he was cleared of murder.

Andrew Wragg, 38, who admitted killing his son but denied murder, was sentenced to two years in jail, suspended for two years, for the manslaughter of 10-year-old Jacob.

After a jury at Lewes Crown Court cleared him of the murder charge, trial Judge Mrs Justice Anne Rafferty told him the case "seems to me exceptional."
