Dudley dad jailed for life for murdering daughter

Dudley dad Philip Peace has been sentenced to life in prison today (26 Feb) for the murder of his baby daughter.

Five-month-old Summer Peace died in September 2017 from non-accidental injuries.

She had been in the sole care of her father at their home, when she became unresponsive and paramedics were called on 8 September.

Tragically she died in hospital the next day.

Following a five-week trial at Birmingham Crown Court the jury found Peace guilty of murder yesterday. He has been ordered to serve 14 years before he will be eligible for parole.
