A man and a woman have been found guilty of murdering their baby boy in Wirral last year.
On Sunday 24 November we received a report that a three-month-old baby boy, Miguel Pirjani, was found unresponsive at a house in Seacombe.
The infant received treatment in hospital but despite the efforts of medical professionals, he was sadly pronounced deceased five days later, on Friday 29 November.
Klevi Pirjani, 37 years, and Nivalda Santos Pirjani, 34 years, both of Percy Road, Seacombe were initially arrested and charged with causing grievous bodily harm and Section 18 wounding with intent.
Following the boy’s death, they were charged with murder and causing or allowing the death of a child.
A three-week trial commenced on Monday 6 October and Miguel’s mum, Nivalda Santos Pirjani, pleaded guilty to Causing/allowing death of a child.
Today, Wednesday 29 October, the jury found Klevi Pirjani and his wife, Nivalda, guilty of murder and Section 18 assault.
Speaking about the verdict, the Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Holly Chance said: “This was a truly shocking murder of baby Miguel Pirjani, and it has been an extremely distressing case for us to investigate.
“Miguel was only three months old when his life was tragically cut short at the violent hands of his parents.
“Today’s conviction of Klevi and Nivalda is exceptionally heartbreaking as Miguel lost his life tragically by his own parents who were meant to nurture and protect him from harm.”
Klevi Pirjani, and Nivalda Santos Pirjani will both be sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court at a later date.
