The case of a 10-month-old baby murdered by his parents just 39 days after being placed back into their care is to be independently reviewed.

Finley Boden’s parents, Shannon Marsden and Stephen Boden, inflicted 130 injuries on their son before he fatally collapsed at his family home in Derbyshire, on Christmas Day 2020.

A family court placed Finley back in his parents’ care on November 17 2020 despite social services raising concerns over their drug use and the state of the family home, and recommending a longer transition period.

Yesterday, Derbyshire CC confirmed a serious case review into Finley’s case had been commissioned by the Derby and Derbyshire Safeguarding Children Partnership.

On Friday, Marsden and Boden were found guilty of Finley’s murder after a six-month trial at Derby Crown Court.

The trial heard how Finley was made the subject of a child protection plan and immediately taken into care after being born due to concerns over his parents’ drug use and home environment.
