NSPCC comment on Ethan Ives-Griffiths murder trial verdict
Michael Ives, 47 and Kerry Ives, 46, both of Kingsley Road, Garden City, Deeside, have today (July 15) been convicted of murdering two-year-old Ethan Ives-Griffiths. Ethan's mother, Shannon Ives, 28, of Nant Garmon, Mold was convicted of causing or allowing his death. All three were all found guilty of cruelty to a child. A trial has taken place over six weeks at Mold Crown Court following the toddler's death in August 2021. Shannon Ives, Michael Ives and Kerry Ives (Image: North Wales Police) The jury deliberated for almost seven hours before returning a unanimous verdict. Following the guilty verdict returned by the jury, North Wales Police and Ethan's father spoke outside of court. Now, the children's charity has said "no stone must be left unturned" in establishing whether more could've been done to save Ethan. Carl Harris, Assistant Director at NSPCC Cymru, said: 'As grandparents to Ethan, Michael and Kerry Ives should have been there to love and protect him. "Instead, they subjected the little boy to an appalling campaign of neglect and abuse leading up to the brutal final attack which killed him. RELATED READING: 'While this was happening, Shannon Ives did not shield her son from her parents and take him out of harm's way. She also treated him cruelly herself. 'The Child Practice Review must leave no stone unturned in establishing whether more could have been done by professionals to protect Ethan, and any recommendations must be fully taken onboard to help safeguard children in the future.' 'We can all look out for children's welfare, and anyone concerned about a child can call the NSPCC free helpline on 0808 800 5000, or email help@ If a child is in immediate danger, please call 999.'

Chester man found at Connah's Quay home in breach of CBO
Lee Kutryk, of Parkgate Road in Chester, was produced in custody at Wrexham Magistrates Court on Monday. The 30-year-old admitted breaching a criminal behaviour order (CBO) by attending High Street in Connah's Quay on Saturday (July 12). Prosecutor James Ashton told the court that the CBO was imposed in September 2019 and subsequently amended and extended last year to run until September 2027. It imposes a number of conditions upon the defendant, chiefly for the purposes of Monday's court hearing prohibiting Kutryk form entering Connah's Quay. On the day of the offence, police received a report that Kutryk had been seen in the area. Officers attended an address following information received and were told to "f*** off" by the occupant. But after gaining entry to the property, a search was carried out and ultimately, Kutryk was found under a pile of washing in the kitchen. He was arrested and taken to custody in Llay. Mr Ashton told the court Kutryk had breached the CBO seven times previously. Gary Harvey, defending, told the court his client's latest offending came shortly after he was released from custody on his last sentence. Following release, Mr Harvey said, he was placed in his temporary accommodation in Chester but didn't have his medication. Lee Kutryk (NWP) (Image: North Wales Police) "He had seizures," he explained. "And he had one on the morning of this incident. "Staff [at the accommodation] discussed an ambulance, but he went to his partner's address in Connah's Quay; he felt safer there and felt he'd be looked after better. "Someone told the police, who went there. "He was very compliant with officers and told them: "I know I shouldn't be here." Mr Harvey conceded his client's behaviour had constituted a deliberate breach of the CBO. MORE COURT NEWS Kutryk himself them interjected, telling the court: "I'm institutionalised. I want to go back to prison." The Magistrates agreed the breach had been "persistent" in nature and jailed the defendant for 18 months. Kutryk was ordered to pay £85 costs and a £154 victim surcharge.
