Seven fractured ribs and a broken leg left untreated: The catalogue of 200 horrific injuries suffered by girl, 18 months, who lived in 'excruciating pain' as her 'barbaric' foster mother gets 18 years for her murder. Shocking pictures have revealed the extent of injuries suffered by a murdered toddler who was beaten repeatedly and left with one leg shorter than the other after her broken leg went untreated. 'Barbaric' Kandyce Downer, 35, from Weoley Castle, Birmingham, was jailed for life today for the murder of 18-month-old Keegan Downer, who died at the family home on September 5 last year just months after Downer became her legal guardian. Little Keegan had been repeatedly beaten and suffered more than 200 injuries, including seven broken ribs, broken legs and severe head and spine injuries. She had 153 scars on her body, including her face and neck. Among them was an untreated spiral fracture on her right leg, which had left the thigh bone misshapen and half an inch shorter than the left limb and would have caused the toddler excruciating pain. Jurors in the trial were told that Keegan's bones had been subjected to the sort of force usually experienced in a car crash. Prosecutor Nigel Power QC said the toddler would have been 'crying and possibly screaming', making it inconceivable that someone looking after her would have been unaware of the injury. Her left thigh bone had been fractured several times, most recently in the weeks before her death, and she had also suffered a traumatic head or spine injury, which was at least several days old when she died.

But an intervention that should have resulted in a bright and stable future with a loving family instead resulted in a cut-price care placement which ultimately condemned the child to death. As part of the agreement to become the infant's legal guardian, it was agreed that Downer could change her new daughter's Christian name to Keegan. The tragic toddler was petty criminal Claire Maybury's seventh child and the seventh to go into care. Her father, David Downer, was jailed for eight years just a month before her birth after Border Force officers found cocaine hidden in tins of spinach in a suitcase when he flew back to the UK from Jamaica. Incredibly, just two years on, Downer, 50, from Lozells, Birmingham, is already back out on the streets on day-release from prison. He has attended the trial regularly and turned up at court yesterday, but had left before the jury returned their verdict. Miss Maybury, 43, also of Lozells, ‎could not be contacted.
