< 1 min read

A man whose ex-partner had been awarded custody of his son killed the five-year-old and then himself during his first unsupervised visit, an inquest has heard.

Timotej Borrett and his father Lee Borrett, 41, were found dead at a house in Hopyard Close, on the outskirts of Leicester, on 24 July 2023. Timotej was visiting Borrett, who was supposed to return him to his mother by 19:00 BST that day.

On Tuesday, senior coroner Prof Catherine Mason concluded Timotej was unlawfully killed by his father, who then took his own life.
