Stewart Greene was jailed for life for drowning his own grandson

Sentencing Greene, Judge Mrs Justice Thirlwall Dee said: "The callousness cannot be overstated."
Lincoln Crown Court had heard that Greene, from Grimoldby, Lincolnshire, was looking after the youngster while his mother went out to buy a turkey.
Prosecuting, Michael Evans QC told the court Greene was left alone with Alex on the morning of December 23 last year.

He said the youngster, who was on the autistic spectrum, had been playing on his Xbox when his mother, Joanne Greene, left to go to Tesco.

He said Ms Greene returned to find her father sitting calmly on the settee.

According to the prosecutor, Greene told his daughter: "I've drowned Alex in the bath."
Greene had denied the charge but changed his plea on Thursday morning.
