The father of murdered toddler Star Hobson has said he will “never recover from the callous and cruel way” in which his daughter was taken from him.
In a statement released on his behalf, Jordan Hobson said: “The horrific death of my beautiful baby daughter has left me devastated and I will never recover from the callous and cruel way in which Star was taken from me.
“No sentence that a court can impose will ever bring back my precious daughter.
“I would now request privacy so that I can start to grieve and begin to try and pick up the pieces of my life.”
Star Hobson died in September last year from “utterly catastrophic” injuries, which she received at her home in Keighley, West Yorkshire.
Bouncer Savannah Brockhill was sentenced to a minimum of 25 years in prison, while Star’s mother, Frankie Smith, was handed a jail term of eight years after she was convicted of causing or allowing her daughter’s death.
