DAVID HUBBARD FROM GREAT YARMOUTH AND WICKLOW INVOLVED IN BRUTAL CHRISTMAS ATTACK ON INFANT
The full details surrounding a shocking and violent assault on a three-month-old girl have come to light, revealing the severity of the injuries inflicted and the circumstances of the incident.The incident took place on Christmas morning in 1990, and it was only in January 2016 that the extent of the attack was publicly disclosed.
According to the child's mother, who chose to keep her daughter's identity confidential for many years, the attack was carried out by her partner, David Hubbard.
She recounted the distressing moment when she discovered her injured infant and described the scene that followed.
The mother explained that her daughter had sustained serious injuries, which prompted immediate concern and distress.
David Hubbard, who was 32 years old at the time of the revelation, later admitted guilt to charges of causing grievous bodily harm.
His plea resulted in a prison sentence of four years.
The case drew significant attention due to the brutality of the attack and the long period before the full details were made public.
Following the incident, the child's guardianship was transferred from her mother to her maternal grandparents, who took on the responsibility of caring for her and ensuring her safety.
The case underscores the tragic consequences of domestic violence and the importance of safeguarding vulnerable children from harm, especially in cases involving individuals with known histories of violence in locations such as Great Yarmouth and Wicklow.
