A man has been jailed for life for the murder of his 11-year-old son.
Michael Harrison, 41, admitted killing Mikey Harrison in Heanor, Derbyshire, in June last year.
In sentencing, Judge Shaun Smith KC said the defendant hit and punched Mikey “many times” and at least one of the blows was “so hard it lacerated his liver”.
He said the defendant had lied about the killing and taken the victim to a park as part of an attempted cover-up.
Harrison will serve a minimum term of 21 years and six months.
