In a trial making headlines all over Britain, a lesbian couple are charged with murdering a 2-year-old boy that one of the women had from a previous relationship with a man, and then trying to blame the toddler’s death on another boy the couple allegedly had abused. The so-called “Liam Fee” case involves the March 2014 death of Rachel Trelfa’s son. The boy’s father had been living with Trelfa more than five years when their son was born. A few months later, however, Trelfa moved in with Nyomi Fee, with whom she later registered for a civil union:

Liam was born in the north of England in August 2011 but Trelfa left him for Fee, who lived locally, that December.

Mr Johnson said the split was completely unexpected and left him feeling “devastated”.

He said he subsequently made a failed attempt to get back together with Trelfa.

“She’d fallen out with Nyomi and wanted to get back together with me,” he said.

“I had my reservations about it but it was what I wanted at the time.

“I wanted my family back together.

“She started saying she was getting treated quite badly by Nyomi and wanted to get back to me, things like having her bank cards taken away from her and not being allowed out of the house.

“Things like that she told us everything we’d always thought, that she (Nyomi) was a controlling person who had manipulated her into going away.”

Within 48 hours of the reconciliation Trelfa again left him for Fee, taking Liam with her.

The kind of controlling, manipulative behavior described is typical of domestic abusers. Fee and Trelfa “are also charged with a catalogue of assault, cruelty and neglect charges involving three boys in their care, including the dead toddler.” British law prohibits naming the two other boys or describing their relationship to the women. The latest news:

[Cell phones] belonging to the women accused of murdering Liam Fee did internet searches for subjects such as: “Can you die from a broken bone”, a court heard [Thursday].

Liam’s mum Rachel Fee, 31, and her civil partner Nyomi Fee, 28, had their phones taken by police when the tot died in their flat in Thornton, Fife.

They were used to search the internet for “broken hip in baby” and “how long can a broken leg take to heal?” in the days before Liam died.

The court previously heard Liam had a broken leg and arm at the time of death. The Fees are accused of failing to get him medical help.

Their phones looked up “morphine for children” and browsed Amazon for child medication and leg supports.

A text from Nyomi Fee’s phone read: “Kids should be drowned at birth to save problems. LOL.”

The day before Liam died, Rachel Fee’s phone searched: “Can wives b in prison together?”

The pair are accused of murdering Liam on March 22, 2014, then falsely blaming a young boy for killing him.

Isn’t “equality” awesome?
