themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-03--This is the scheming baby murderer who told 'blatant lies'

A murderer who brutally attacked a 12-month-old baby while under strict orders not to be in contact with children has been jailed for life .
Jamie Chadwick , 22 , was under investigation by police in relation to injuries sustained by another child when he murdered Orianna Crilly-Cifrova , his partner 's daughter .
But a judge said there was a 'prolonged deception ' of social workers , with professionals not being told the truth about Chadwick having contact with Orianna .
Chadwick once hid under a bed when a social worker visited them .
He brutally attacked the child @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being left at the flat he shared with his partner Chelsea Crilly for about an hour .
Afterwards , he strapped Orianna back into her pram and left her to die .
Chadwick then lied about what had happened , at first telling police he was not at the flat in Radcliffe where Orianna was injured .
He then claimed it had been a 'tragic accident ' and at trial he tried to blame Ms Crilly .
`` This was a cowardly final effort by you to escape the consequences of what you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told Chadwick , who was convicted of murder by a jury last week .
`` The jury saw through your blatant lies . ''
Ms Crilly , 20 , who was previously cleared of causing or allowing Orianna 's death , had been 'assured ' by Chadwick that he would never harm a child .
`` Sadly , Miss Crilly chose to believe you rather than follow the advice she was given by the professionals , '' the judge continued .
`` That is a decision she will regret for the rest of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heard that Chadwick , who was not Orianna 's father , began a relationship with Ms Crilly which became a 'source of concern ' to the authorities .
Chadwick was investigated by police in relation to injuries to another child , referred to as Baby T , a probe which was later dropped .
The judge told him : `` While you remained under investigation , it was made clear to you that you were to avoid contact with children .
`` Certainly , you well knew you were not to be left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
He lied to a probation officer , telling them he had no contact with Orianna .
While pointing out Chadwick was never charged with an offence , the judge said him being found guilty of Orianna 's murder 'strengthens the suspicion ' that he was responsible for Baby T 's injuries .
Orianna was described as being 'clever ' and 'funny ' , and health care professionals who visited her said she was 'generally happy ' .
But prior to the fatal attack , she had suffered fractured ribs and a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ judge said it was not clear who was responsible for those injuries .
On October 16 , Chadwick was left alone with Orianna when Ms Crilly went to the doctors with his sister .
When they returned about an hour later , Orianna was 'almost lifeless ' .
She had suffered two 'very severe blows ' to her skull , prosecutor Peter Wright QC said .
It is not clear how Chadwick inflicted the injuries but a pathologist said they were consistent with a 'high speed road traffic accident ' or a 'multi-storey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attack 'represented more than a momentary loss of temper ' .
Defending , Andrew O'Byrne QC said Chadwick had 'limited intellectual capacity ' , but the judge said his mental health difficulties did not 'explain or excuse ' his actions .
The judge told Chadwick : `` It is very hard to understand why you lost your temper to the extent that you did within such a short time .
`` Your mild learning disability can not offer an explanation . ''
He was sentenced to life in prison , to serve a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only be released if the Parole Board deem it safe to do so .
The court was told Orianna 's father did not wish to submit a victim impact statement for the hearing .
But the judge said during the trial it was clear that he was a 'good father ' .
`` It is plain that he loved her , '' she said .
A statement from Orianna 's family was released following her death .
It read : `` As a family we have been asked to say a few words @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a thousand words could not begin to describe how much she was loved and how much joy she brought to our lives .
`` Orianna was just 12 months old , learning to walk and talk and starting to develop her own little personality .
`` She had the cheekiest smile with the biggest brown eyes , a combination that melted out hearts and wrapped us around her little finger .
`` Orianna was a daughter , grand daughter and great grand daughter and the void she leaves can never be filled .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ taken from us and we are unsure how we can live without her .
`` Orianna was our little princess and she was the centre of her daddies world .
He loved her millions and she will always be in his heart and his memories and will be loved forever . ''
After the hearing , Duncan Thorpe , senior investigating officer of GMP ’ s Major incident Support Unit , said : `` This is a heart breaking case in which an innocent baby was murdered by a man who should have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the family at this incredibly distressing time .
`` Little Orianna was found to have extremely severe head injuries , and the explanation given by Chadwick as to how she received these injuries was not compatible with the evidence .

Afterwards, he strapped Orianna back into her pram and left her to die.
Chadwick then lied about what had happened, at first telling police he was not at the flat in Radcliffe where Orianna was injured.
He then claimed it had been a 'tragic accident' and at trial he tried to blame Ms Crilly.

"The jury saw through your blatant lies."

"Sadly, Miss Crilly chose to believe you rather than follow the advice she was given by the professionals," the judge continued.
"That is a decision she will regret for the rest of her life."
Manchester Crown Court heard that Chadwick, who was not Orianna's father, began a relationship with Ms Crilly which became a 'source of concern' to the authorities.
Chadwick was investigated by police in relation to injuries to another child, referred to as Baby T, a probe which was later dropped.
The judge told him: "While you remained under investigation, it was made clear to you that you were to avoid contact with children.
"Certainly, you well knew you were not to be left with a child in your sole care."
He lied to a probation officer, telling them he had no contact with Orianna.
While pointing out Chadwick was never charged with an offence, the judge said him being found guilty of Orianna's murder 'strengthens the suspicion' that he was responsible for Baby T's injuries.

Orianna was described as being 'clever' and 'funny', and health care professionals who visited her said she was 'generally happy'.
But prior to the fatal attack, she had suffered fractured ribs and a fractured vertebra in her neck.
The judge said it was not clear who was responsible for those injuries.
On October 16, Chadwick was left alone with Orianna when Ms Crilly went to the doctors with his sister.
When they returned about an hour later, Orianna was 'almost lifeless'.
She had suffered two 'very severe blows' to her skull, prosecutor Peter Wright QC said.
It is not clear how Chadwick inflicted the injuries but a pathologist said they were consistent with a 'high speed road traffic accident' or a 'multi-storey fall'.
The judge said the attack 'represented more than a momentary loss of temper'.
Defending, Andrew O'Byrne QC said Chadwick had 'limited intellectual capacity', but the judge said his mental health difficulties did not 'explain or excuse' his actions.
The judge told Chadwick: "It is very hard to understand why you lost your temper to the extent that you did within such a short time.
"Your mild learning disability cannot offer an explanation."
He was sentenced to life in prison, to serve a minimum of 18 years.
Chadwick will only be released if the Parole Board deem it safe to do so.
The court was told Orianna's father did not wish to submit a victim impact statement for the hearing.
But the judge said during the trial it was clear that he was a 'good father'.
"It is plain that he loved her," she said.
A statement from Orianna's family was released following her death.
It read: "As a family we have been asked to say a few words about our beautiful Orianna, but even a thousand words could not begin to describe how much she was loved and how much joy she brought to our lives.

"Orianna was just 12 months old, learning to walk and talk and starting to develop her own little personality.
"She had the cheekiest smile with the biggest brown eyes, a combination that melted out hearts and wrapped us around her little finger.
"Orianna was a daughter, grand daughter and great grand daughter and the void she leaves can never be filled.
"She was our gift and cruelly taken from us and we are unsure how we can live without her.
"Orianna was our little princess and she was the centre of her daddies world. He loved her millions and she will always be in his heart and his memories and will be loved forever."
After the hearing, Duncan Thorpe, senior investigating officer of GMP’s Major incident Support Unit, said: "This is a heart breaking case in which an innocent baby was murdered by a man who should have cared for her and our thoughts are with the family at this incredibly distressing time.
"Little Orianna was found to have extremely severe head injuries, and the explanation given by Chadwick as to how she received these injuries was not compatible with the evidence.
"It's absolutely horrific that anyone could inflict such an attack on an innocent baby but Orianna will never be forgotten.
"I am confident that today we have managed to secure her some justice and Orianna will certainly not be forgotten by our investigation team."
A spokesman for the NSPCC charity added: "Chadwick has faced justice for the cruel murder of little Orianna who sadly paid the price for his lies, manipulation and brutal disregard for a young life.
"Babies and young children are completely dependent upon the adults who care for them and Chadwick wilfully abandoned that responsibility with tragic consequences.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-03--Second Greater Manchester Tory MP says he will vote against new lockdown

A second Greater Manchester Tory MP has revealed he will vote against new national lockdown measures when they are put before the House of Commons this week .
James Grundy , who represents Leigh , said he intended to oppose the measures as he believes they will 'bring mass unemployment , poverty , and misery to millions of families ' .
He is the second of the region 's MPs to join the Tory revolt against the new restrictions .
Yesterday , Sir Graham Brady , the representative for Sale and Altrincham West said the “ repetitive cycle ” of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s livelihoods , deeply depressing and is causing a huge toll in terms of people ’ s mental health and family relationships ” .
MPs are set to vote on the new lockdown on Wednesday and , if passed , the measures will come into force in England on Thursday .
The new measures will mean hospitality , non essential retail , leisure and beauty industry businesses will be forced to close in a bid to stop a rise in coronavirus cases .
In a statement posted on social media , Mr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ measures as a 'very difficult ' one to come to .
He added : `` As you may be aware , several weeks ago , I made a public statement in which I promised my constituents that I would not support a second national lockdown , whether proposed by the opposition , or by the Government .
`` It is important that when politicians make promises to their constituents , they try to keep them .
`` This was a promise made in good faith , as I believed that a second lockdown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well intentioned .
What do you make of the decision to go into lockdown ?
Have your say below '' As many people who have been following the debate on a second lockdown will know , this would not be a permanent solution , and would lead to a rolling series of lockdowns every six weeks or so , for so long as the virus is with us , which is hopefully months , but potentially years .
`` This is simply not sustainable .
`` It is , of course , critically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medically vulnerable , the two groups most at risk from Coronavirus .
`` I speak as someone who lives with my father , a 79 year old lung cancer survivor , whose welfare during this crisis I have constantly been concerned about , worrying whether I may inadvertently bring a deadly disease back through the door into my family home .
`` It is a concern many families have been faced with during this crisis .
Everybody agrees that protecting the elderly and vulnerable should be a matter of the highest priority .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the best way to achieve this ?
I have also been struck by the significant number of emails I have received from small businesses and from self employed people , who have spoken about the terrible anxiety they have suffered since the announcement was made .
`` Even with the support provided by the Government , a package that was one of the most generous in the world , comprising furlough , grants , loans , tax breaks and other measures , their resources are exhausted , and they can not sustain the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ let alone the pressures of a third , a fourth , or a fifth .
`` There has to be a better way to deal with this crisis than a measure that will bring mass unemployment , mass poverty , and mass misery to millions of families .
`` Unless the targeted financial support put on the table for struggling small businesses and self employed people is significantly improved , and unless there is a clear timetable for the imminent rollout of a vaccine , then I will , with great regret , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support the Government on this issue .
`` A rolling series of lockdowns might , and I stress , might , hold Covid-19 at bay for a few weeks , or months , as the last one did .
Then again , it might not .
`` It certainly will cause absolute devastation to every other part of our society though , and to the health of millions , both physically and mentally .
`` We must find a better way to deal with this crisis , a method that protects the health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does not reduce ordinary working people to penury and misery at the same time . ''
Mr Grundy 's comments come amid reports of a growing rebellion amongst Conservative MPs over the issue .
They are said to be considering a mass rejection of the measures in a vote on Wednesday - with Downing Street scrambling to calm the anger , according the Mirror .
Former cabinet minister , Tatton MP Esther McVey , is among those who has revealed she would be voting against the new measures .

A third Greater Manchester Tory MP has revealed he will vote against new national lockdown measures when they are put before the House of Commons this week.
Bolton West MP Chris Green has added his voice to James Grundy, who represents Leigh, with the pair now making up a trio of Conservative politicians set to revolt against the government.
Yesterday, Sir Graham Brady, the representative for Sale and Altrincham West said the “repetitive cycle” of lockdowns is “immensely damaging to people’s livelihoods, deeply depressing and is causing a huge toll in terms of people’s mental health and family relationships”.
MPs are set to vote on the new lockdown on Wednesday and, if passed, the measures will come into force in England on Thursday.
The new measures will mean hospitality, non essential retail, leisure and beauty industry businesses will be forced to close in a bid to stop a rise in coronavirus cases.
In a statement posted on social media, Mr Grundy described his decision to oppose the measures as a 'very difficult' one to come to.
He added: "As you may be aware, several weeks ago, I made a public statement in which I promised my constituents that I would not support a second national lockdown, whether proposed by the opposition, or by the Government.
"It is important that when politicians make promises to their constituents, they try to keep them.
"This was a promise made in good faith, as I believed that a second lockdown would be immensely damaging, even though well intentioned.
What do you make of the decision to go into lockdown? Have your say below
"As many people who have been following the debate on a second lockdown will know, this would not be a permanent solution, and would lead to a rolling series of lockdowns every six weeks or so, for so long as the virus is with us, which is hopefully months, but potentially years.
"This is simply not sustainable.
"It is, of course, critically important to protect the elderly and the medically vulnerable, the two groups most at risk from Coronavirus.
"I speak as someone who lives with my father, a 79 year old lung cancer survivor, whose welfare during this crisis I have constantly been concerned about, worrying whether I may inadvertently bring a deadly disease back through the door into my family home.
"It is a concern many families have been faced with during this crisis. Everybody agrees that protecting the elderly and vulnerable should be a matter of the highest priority.
"The question is, what is the best way to achieve this? I have also been struck by the significant number of emails I have received from small businesses and from self employed people, who have spoken about the terrible anxiety they have suffered since the announcement was made.
"Even with the support provided by the Government, a package that was one of the most generous in the world, comprising furlough, grants, loans, tax breaks and other measures, their resources are exhausted, and they cannot sustain the financial pressures of a second lockdown, let alone the pressures of a third, a fourth, or a fifth.
"There has to be a better way to deal with this crisis than a measure that will bring mass unemployment, mass poverty, and mass misery to millions of families.
"Unless the targeted financial support put on the table for struggling small businesses and self employed people is significantly improved, and unless there is a clear timetable for the imminent rollout of a vaccine, then I will, with great regret, and great reluctance, be unable to support the Government on this issue.

"A rolling series of lockdowns might, and I stress, might, hold Covid-19 at bay for a few weeks, or months, as the last one did. Then again, it might not.
"It certainly will cause absolute devastation to every other part of our society though, and to the health of millions, both physically and mentally.
"We must find a better way to deal with this crisis, a method that protects the health of the elderly and vulnerable, but does not reduce ordinary working people to penury and misery at the same time."
In his own social media post, Mr Green added: "I will be voting against the second lockdown.
"I know this goes against the wishes of the Government and the Labour Party.
"I am doing this because of the experience my constituents have had demonstrates that this approach to dealing with Covid is ineffective and worse than the disease itself."
The comments come amid reports of a growing rebellion amongst Conservative MPs over the issue.
They are said to be considering a mass rejection of the measures in a vote on Wednesday - with Downing Street scrambling to calm the anger, according the Mirror.
Former cabinet minister, Tatton MP Esther McVey, is among those who has revealed she would be voting against the new measures.

Anthony Martial is available after his domestic ban ended but new signing Facundo Pellistri has not travelled, having made the bench for the 2-1 win over PSG.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can name up to 12 substitutes in Champions League games, whereas he is restricted to seven substitutes in domestic matches.
Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Teden Mengi, Daniel James and Odion Ighalo are also in line for matchday squad recalls after missing out in the defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.
United players have to be tested before Champions League away games to determine whether they can travel abroad and Telles, 27, has missed United's last three games against Chelsea, RB Leipzig and Arsenal at Old Trafford.
The Brazil international earned plaudits after his performance in Paris, where he was substituted midway through the second-half for Paul Pogba. Telles' only other squad appearance was as an unused substitute in the 4-1 win at Newcastle.
Confirmed squad members
David de Gea, Dean Henderson, Lee Grant; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Axel Tuanzebe, Victor Lindelof, Teden Mengi, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Brandon Williams; Nemanja Matic, Fred, Scott McTominay, Paul Pogba, Donny van de Beek, Juan Mata, Daniel James, Bruno Fernande; Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani, Odion Ighalo, Mason Greenwood

United were accused by Roy Keane of lacking leaders in the squad off the back of that game and Solskjaer defended his players when Keane's comments were mentioned in the press conference.
“Well Roy has always been outspoken," Solskjaer said. "I am very glad I have got the players I have here. We have different jobs, and his is to give his opinion.”

themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-03--Social media criticism can affect Bolton players' confidence, says boss Evatt

Ian Evatt says the Bolton Wanderers players do look at the feedback they receive on social media and admits that negative comments can affect their confidence .
With supporters across the country having to watch games from home via TV or streaming services , social media has become one of the few ways fans can voice their opinions on their teams .
It 's one which Wanderers supporters have being doing the same with , too , and expressing their views on individual players and performances in a disappointing start to the season for the Trotters which has left them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wins on the board heading into this evening 's clash against Mansfield Town .
Wanderers head coach Evatt understands the frustrations of supporters and said that players do read the feedback they receive on social media , which can affect their confidence .
And he has called for positivity in trying to get Wanderers back on the right path , adding that it is down to him and players to create that with results and performances on the pitch .
Evatt said : “ I have a big opinion on social media .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ positivity and to bring people together but what it has done is created the opposite .
“ The minority have become the loudest voice .
There isn ’ t any accountability , you can register 10 , 11 , 12 accounts and say what you want about anyone , and in my view it ’ s wrong .
“ As a football club we ’ re going through a transitional period , no doubt about it .
A huge restart .
And we all want success .
“ I understand the frustration , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the time to come together as a club , even though it ’ s tough to do so after Saturday .
“ The players do read it .
They do feed off it .
And regardless of what I say about not doing it , sometimes it ’ s unavoidable .
And it can affect their confidence whether they are in a stadium or not .
“ Let ’ s try and be as positive as we can be .
We are on this journey together and we all want success .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ get it .
“ I am equally as frustrated , I get exactly why people are upset at the moment , but the sooner we pull together again , the quicker it will get better .
“ It is on me , the staff and the players to create that .
Hopefully , we do that with a good result and performance against Mansfield . ''
Certain players have been the subject of criticism and social media discussion throughout the season , which have included central defender Ricardo Almeida Santos and skipper Antoni @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used that as fuel for subsequent performances , with Evatt feeling the duo have turned around opinions of them .
But for those players who are being affected by talk on social media , Evatt has advised them players to not read it and instead focus on their own performances .
Evatt said : “ I have been in the game a long time and I think I understand it well .
“ Football is one of those industries where you can be a hero one minute and the villain the next .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ As a player you have to keep yourself level , some sort of balance .
“ And if it does affect you then come off it , don ’ t read it .
“ Some of them will use it as motivation , as fuel to the fire , and if that works , fantastic .
We have had some players getting criticised – like Ricardo Santos or Antoni Sarcevic – who are now starting to show true form and turning around opinion quickly .
“ We all need to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then it becomes white noise .
You have to focus on your job – and that ’ s giving everything importance : The next pass , the next touch , the next tackle .
Win the next moment .
“ If you do that then confidence will grow and opinions will change , that ’ s the game we ’ re in .
“ For now , me , staff and the players just need to concentrate on getting our job right .
“ If we win games consistently then I know our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great .
They have been through the mill , they have had tough times , and we want to bring them here .
“ For now , we have to do our jobs properly . ''

David Watson, prosecuting, said the mum wasn't satisfied and managed to access her daughter's phone by guessing the PIN.
He said she was so concerned by the "intimate" messages she woke up her sleeping daughter and questioned her over them.
The court heard the girl became very upset and, while maintaining that nothing had happened, asked her mum to promise that she wouldn't call the police.
However, the woman later challenged Oldfield, who initially said his behaviour may have gone "over the line", but denied any sexual activity.

Mr Watson said the girl was video interviewed, when she told officers Oldfield had formed a "relationship" with her, but that it was "different".
She explained that he had taken her out in his car when they kissed each other, before he touched her breasts and genital area over clothing, and she rubbed his penis over his trousers.
The court heard this progressed on later occasions to Oldfield touching her under clothing, performing a sex act on her, and making her masturbate him.

Mr Watson said: "She stated that the defendant had discussed with her the consequences of anyone finding out, namely that the police would be involved, and that she should be careful who she told."
In his first interview with police, ahead of the victim speaking with officers, Oldfield admitted some sexual activity, but denied ever having sexual intercourse with the girl.
After officers had briefly spoken with the child, he continued to deny her version of events, before accepting that they had sexual intercourse on approximately five occasions.
Following her video recorded interview, Oldfield finally accepted that her entire account was correct.
Oldfield, now of Manchester Road, Rochdale, admitted four counts of sexual activity with a child. He had no previous convictions.
In a victim statement, the girl said that looking back she now knew what Oldfield did was "wrong" and shouldn't have happened.
Mr Watson said she expressed relief that the investigation was coming to an end and told police she sometimes felt "empty and numb".
He highlighted the "significant disparity in age" between Oldfield and his victim and said aggravating features of the case included the steps he took to try and prevent the girl reporting the abuse.
David Bruce, defending, said his client had worked hard to study to become a teacher, but as a result of these offences had lost the job he loved and since suffered from depression.
Judge Anil Murray sentenced Oldfield to four years in jail and made a restraining order to protect his victim.
He said Oldfield must sign on the Sex Offenders Register and comply with a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for life.
