Daniel Boulton, 30, was given two life sentences after brutally murdering his ex-partner Bethany Vincent and her nine-year-old son Darren Henson in Louth.

A jury rejected Boulton’s case that “he lost control” due to his personality disorder and took just two hours to convict him of both murders.

Boulton must serve a minimum of 40 years in jail before he is eligible to apply for parole and may never be released.

Lincolnshire County Council are conducting a joint child safeguarding practice and domestic homicide review into the tragic double murder case.
