This is the moment an evil baby killer argued with police and moaned about his handcuffs being too tight while being arrested for murdering his five-week-old daughter.
Sean Jefferson, 35, is facing jail after being convicted of murdering his daughter Darcy who suffered a catastrophic brain injury and 47 rib fractures.
The tiny tot also had fractures to both of her legs after being subjected to multiple assaults in the ten days leading up to her death on March 29, 2022.
Jefferson, of Walsall, West Mids., was found guilty of murder and two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent at Stafford Crown Court on Monday (16/3).
Darcy’s mum Amy Leigh Clark, of of Lichfield, Staffs., was convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child and two counts of causing or allowing serious harm to a child following the eight week trial.
Body-cam footage has now been released showing the moment the pair were both arrested with Jefferson exclaiming: “Oh my f*g god.”
The cocky thug can be seen whinging about the tightness of his handcuffs before threatening to report two police officers for “hurting his hands.”
As he was cuffed, Jefferson says: “You said you weren’t going to handcuff me, you’re a jobsworth mate.
“That’s a bit tight, that is mate. Look at that, see that? That’s very tight. Can you please loose it?”
The officer tells him to “stay still then”, only for Jefferson to demand his badge number and say: “I’m putting in a complaint about you. Simple, done.
“That’s very tight. Can you please loose it? You’re hurting my hand, mate.”
He’s told: “Calm down mate” as he demands: “Take it off then, hurry up.
“I want your name and badge number, you’re abusing your rights now, mate. Simple. What is it, you getting a bit scared?
“It’s disgusting.”
Another officer explains he was getting the key to loosen the cuffs and Jefferson rpelies “I’m gonna report you as well.
“I’m not going to let it go either.”
Raising his voice, Jefferson says: “Stop asking silly questions. You’re holding me tight. This geezer is making me angry. I don’t like his attitude.
“You’re squeezing them, geezer. It’s dented my arm.”
The other officer says: “He isn’t squeezing them. They’ve been locked.”
The pair were arrested the day after police were called to the property on Mother’s Day 2022 after Darcy collapsed at home.
Darcy died in hospital two days later on March 29 and the parents were later charged in May last year.
An investigation found Darcy was subjected to horrific repeated physical abuse throughout the short five week life.
Detective Chief Inspector Ian Fitzgerald, of Staffordshire Police, said after the case: “Today’s verdict concludes a profoundly distressing case involving the murder of five-week-old Darcy.
“Her short life and tragic death must not be forgotten.
“Darcy was violently abused and murdered by her father. Her mother allowed her death.
“These were the people who should have loved and cared for her. It was despicable behaviour against a defenceless child.
“It has been an exceptionally difficult investigation, and the thoughts of the entire investigation team remain with her elder sibling, who has faced an unimaginable loss and a lengthy judicial process.”
Jefferson and Clark will be sentenced at Stafford Crown Court at a date yet to be fixed.
