(I wouldn't usually share an article from the fake-news peddling guttershite that is the Daily Mail, but on this occasion I'll make an exception.)

A mother who covered up the death of her baby boy for over a decade by wrapping up his body in a bin liner and hiding it in her mother's shed has been jailed for 21 months.

Victoria Gayle, 32, hid her son Kyzer's body in a bag in a cardboard box in the outhouse at her mother's home in Hendon, north London, where the remains were found in July of last year. It is thought he died in 2005.

Jailing Gayle today, Judge Susan Tapping told her:'The full truth of his sad and short life will never be known.'

Gayle told police she was traumatised by Kyzer's death but she concealed the body as she didn't want to get in trouble.
She failed to explain why the baby was fully clothed, or why it was wearing a bandage, but 'guessed he had a rash.'

Bill Emlyn Jones, prosecuting, told Kingston Crown Court that Kyzer died aged 13-15 months old, and was not the first of Gayle's children to die.

Following another child's death in 2015, police were asked to investigate, and it then emerged Kyzer was missing.

Victoria Gayle has been jailed for preventing the lawful burial of her year-old son Kyzer.

Gayle was arrested on May 30, 2016 on suspicion of murder.
In interview, she claimed she had given the boy to his father, a member of the travelling community, and not seen him for 10 years.

Mr Emlyn Jones said: 'She explicitly denied that Kyzer was dead. She said that even if the police found him, she would not want them to tell her.'

The day after the interview, a search was conducted at the home of the defendant's mother and step-father where police found Kyzer's body.

Mr Emlyn Jones said: 'She explicitly denied that Kyzer was dead. She said that even if the police found him, she would not want them to tell her.'

The day after the interview, a search was conducted at the home of the defendant's mother and step-father where police found Kyzer's body.

Mr Emlyn Jones said: 'In the garden shed, officers found a cardboard box wrapped in a black bin liner.

'Inside the box was a laundry bag containing an object wrapped entirely in grey adhesive tape.

'The tape was cut; inside was the decomposed remains of a human child.
'That baby had been fully dressed in corduroy trousers and a jumper. It also had one leg entirely bandaged from foot to hip.'

Mr Emlyn Jones told the court that, as the body was decomposed there was no way to test for diseases, and the cause of death remained unclear.

Mr Emlyn Jones added: 'Police were aware she had recently conducted internet searches for sulphuric acid.

'She said she had simply been curious about it after developing a rash from bleach.'

Kate O'Raghalliagh, defending, told the court Kyzer's remains had been kept in the spare room at her home for 11 years, and she'd only moved it to her parents home after being evicted.

Gayle showed no trace of emotion as Judge Susan Tapping jailed her for 21 months.

The judge said: 'Whatever shock you felt at the sudden and unexpected death of Kyzer, you concealed what happened from anyone,' the judge said.

'All you have ever said is that one morning you woke up and discovered your dead son in his cot. Such tragic events do happen.'

The judge added: 'In your case you reaction to such a shocking discovery was not to call an ambulance in case anything could be done to help Kyzer.

'Your little boy was denied a decent burial for so many years.
'The web of lies that began in 2014 went on for two years to every authority that tried to find out what happened to him.'

'There is no evidence in this case to suggest you had anything to do with your child's death. The full truth of his sad and short life will never be known.'

Scotland Yard said that a 51-year-old woman and a 53-year-old man who were arrested in connection with the case will have no further action taken against them.

A 38-year-old man who was arrested on 16 September 2016 on suspicion of preventing a lawful burial and perverting the course justice remains on bail until a date in mid-April pending further enquiries.
