Couple guilty of killing boy with salt
A childless British couple were found guilty today of killing a three-year-old boy they had planned to adopt when he failed to meet their expectations of comfortable family living.
A jury of six men and six women sitting at Worcester Crown Court took more than eight hours to convict Ian and Angela Gay, of Halesowen, West Midlands, of poisoning Christian Blewitt with salt and causing him a fatal head injury.
