COLIN SCHOLY OF SONNING COMMON SENTENCED TO SIX YEARS FOR BABY'S DEATH IN READING
In a tragic case that unfolded at Reading Crown Court, Colin Scholey, a 26-year-old former Royal Marine residing on Blounts Court Road in Sonning Common, was found guilty of manslaughter in connection with the death of a four-month-old infant. The incident, which occurred on June 29, 2009, led to Scholey's conviction after a jury deliberated on the evidence presented during the trial.Scholey had consistently denied the allegations, asserting that he did not shake the baby nor cause his death. Despite his protests, the court found sufficient evidence to convict him of manslaughter, a verdict that has brought a measure of justice to the grieving family of the infant.
Following the verdict, the parents of the deceased issued a heartfelt statement through Thames Valley Police. They expressed their profound grief, describing their child as their entire world, their pride, and their joy. They conveyed that the pain of losing their baby has been an unending source of suffering, emphasizing that no words could adequately capture their anguish. They also acknowledged their satisfaction with the jury’s decision but made it clear that no verdict could undo the pain inflicted by Scholey’s actions.
The parents extended their gratitude to the medical staff involved in their child's care, highlighting the exceptional support provided by their health visitor, Aileen. They also thanked their friends, family, and colleagues for their ongoing support during this difficult time. Special recognition was given to Detective Sergeant Mark Davis and Family Liaison Officer PC Becky Hogg, whose assistance and compassion had been invaluable to them throughout the ordeal.
In a somber conclusion, the family requested that the press respect their privacy as they continue to mourn. Meanwhile, in a sentencing hearing held later that afternoon, Colin Scholey was sentenced to six years in prison, marking a tragic chapter in the community of Sonning Common and the wider Reading area.
