Liam Deane, 22, from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, was convicted of killing his two-day-old daughter, Luna—a crime that shocked the community with its heartbreaking cruelty. The infant died after a violent outburst from Deane, who later admitted to losing control.
Just weeks after his conviction, Deane was killed by another inmate in prison—his life ending as tragically as it had spiraled.
The case sparked widespread grief and outrage, highlighting painful issues: how fragile newborns are, how dangerous unchecked anger can become, and how urgently new parents in crisis need support.
As people mourn the loss of baby Luna and reflect on Deane’s tragic downfall, the case stands as a grim reminder of the devastating consequences when mental health and emotional distress go unaddressed.
