Teen father, 19, blamed pet dog for baby's 'irreparable' brain damage after violently shaking them
A young father has blamed his own pet dog for injuries to his five-week-old baby. Dafydd Rutherford, then 19, shook his crying baby causing his child to suffer multiple bleeds on the brain, with 'life-threatening consequences'. He then blamed the dog for knocking the baby's basket over at their home while the child's mother was shopping, a court heard. Rutherford later admitted he shook the baby to stop them crying because the dog was barking. He made the admission after hospital staff examined the infant's injuries. Megan Williams, prosecuting said the alarm was raised by medics after the baby was brought in from their home in Swansea. The child had a series of parallel bruises on its chest and was 'pale', but then suffered a seizure. MRI scans revealed that the baby had suffered bleeding to both sides of the brain, bleeding around the spinal cord, and damage to the brain caused by a lack of oxygen. Both parents were arrested - and during police interviews Rutherford denied being responsible for the injuries to his child, saying the dog had knocked the baby's basket over. He said he had picked the baby up and when they went to sleep he put the child down and went into the kitchen. But Rutherford later admitted he had become frustrated at the dog barking as well as the baby crying and had shaken the infant 'three or four times'. The prosecutor said the defendant told officers 'he didn't wish to hurt [the child] he simply wished to stop [them] crying'. Swansea Crown Court heard the victim has been left with developmental delay as a result of injuries to the brain. In an impact statement from the baby's family which was read the court they described how they had been 'torn apart'. They said in not telling the doctors what had really happened straight away so they could provide appropriate treatment, Rutherford had 'chosen to help himself rather than help his [child.]' Rutherford, now 22, of Swansea, pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm. Stuart John, defending, said he has caused 'irreparable damage' to his young baby and to the wider family. He said the offence was born from 'immaturity, impulsivity, and recklessness' and was something he would regret for the rest of his life. Judge Catherine Richards told Rutherford his child had been just weeks old when he caused 'devastating' injuries in what is typically characterised as 'shaken baby syndrome'. She said the defendant had then denied being responsible for the injuries until later admitting he had become frustrated at the dog barking and the baby crying and lost his temper. Rutherford was sentenced to 28 months in prison.

Moment 'thief' is pepper sprayed by police after smashing bottles as he tried to flee Tesco supermarket
A man suspected of shoplifting from a Tesco store was subdued by police with CS gas spray as he tried to flee. The alleged shoplifter was seen pacing back and forth at the supermarket on Swansea's High Street as staff and a security guard stood at the front door, seemingly preventing his exit. He appeared to be kept in the shop near the Welsh city's train station until police officers armed with a stun gun turned up. Cops then used CS spray to incapacitate him before arresting him. He has since been charged, convicted and jailed. Eyewitness Daniel Mitchell, 29, said it was 'clever' of the shop workers to appear to trap the man inside. Tesco sources, however, have insisted that it is 'inaccurate' to suggest that he was prevented from leaving by locking the doors. Mr Mitchell, from Coventry in Leicestershire, said he had been standing outside the station when he saw the 'commotion' unfold. He added: 'I then realised what Tesco staff were doing. It was clever really. 'They were calm and just made sure he couldn't leave. No one seemed scared, just watching.' Do you work in retail? Tell us in confidence about crime in your store: email A clip shot by Mr Mitchell showed how the incident played out in a matter of minutes. 'Tesco's are now trapping you in if you try to steal. They've trapped him in, look,' he said as a man was seen pacing back and forth in an aisle of the supermarket. He was watched by uniformed staff and a security guard, who stood at the door, which was locked tight. The suspected shoplifter made no effort to try to get out as it became clear he was trapped, as shoppers watched from outside. Minutes later, a police officer arrives and pulls out a stun gun, training it on the suspect in an aisle as the man filming the footage remarks: 'They're not f****** around now, boys.' Joined by his colleague, the Taser-toting officer steps closer as he continues to point the stun gun at the alleged thief. Dressed all in black, the suspect raises his hands, seemingly trying to reason with the law as he stares down 1,500 volts of electricity. Putting the stun gun away, the police officer then reaches for his CS gas and walks towards the man, pushing him into a wall of fresh fruit and veg and pinning his arm behind him. The suspected thief tries lashing out as he's led away, sending the police crashing to the floor and the security guard running in to help. As the chaos is brought to an end in the store, another eyewitness chuckles: 'That's the way it's done, isn't it?' The suspect shakes his head and spits on the floor as he is brought to his feet and led out of the store to a waiting cage van, swearing angrily. In common with other UK supermarkets Tesco operates a 'non-confrontation' policy when it comes to shoplifting due to the risk it poses to the safety of staff. Workers are instead encouraged to take down details of the theft, or to report known banned customers or repeat thieves to managers, and for all incidents to be reported to the police. Stores are understood to be able to lock doors from the outside to stop more people from walking in during an incident like that seen in Swansea. They cannot, however, stop anyone from walking out. The supermarket has rolled out additional equipment to keep staff safe and to gather more data on shoplifters, including protective screens and body-worn cameras. Last year, CEO Ken Murphy said his firm was spending tens of millions of pounds on 'necessary measures' to fight crime but said 'they are still not enough' to stamp out the problem altogether. The tide does appear to have turned against non-confrontation in some stores: a would-be thief at a Greggs in Hammersmith, London was seen being held by his clothing as he tried to steal food and drink last month. Security guards at the Broadway shopping centre - which forms part of the local Underground station - held onto him until he surrendered the goods. Theft from retailers is thought to have increased 25 per cent in 2023/24 - a total of more than 20 million incidents, or 38 every minute. It is thought to have cost retailers £2.2billion, while more than 2,000 incidents of abuse or violence against shop workers were reported every single day, according to the British Retail Consortium's crime survey. South Wales Police said a man was ultimately charged with criminal damage in connection with the incident and has been jailed. A spokesperson for the force said: 'Officers attended Tesco Express, High Street, Swansea, shortly after 8:30pm on Tuesday July 22 following a report of a man causing criminal damage within the store. '44-year-old Adam Griffiths, from Penlan, Swansea, was arrested and has since been charged with criminal damage. 'Griffiths pleaded guilty to the offence and has been sentenced to four weeks in prison.'
