Girl died after her drunk fathers car went off the road
THIS is the shocking moment a father appears to lift a bottle of beer to the lips of his baby daughter.
Nine years later Georgie Shaw, by then 10, was dead after suffering severe head injuries when her father Darryl Shaw crashed the car she was travelling in into a lamppost after drinking around nine pints of beer.
Earlier this week, Shaw was jailed for two years at Swansea Crown Court for causing death by dangerous driving. The court heard he had been drinking all afternoon in a pub in their home village of Borth, near Aberystwyth, with Georgies mother Michelle Elmor, before leaving in their car to collect their daughter from school.
After continuing drinking with Georgie at their side, her father eventually ignored pleas not to drive and set off home with their daughter not wearing a seatbelt in the back seat.
Their Peugeot 406 careered into a lamp post after mounting a bank a short distance from the Railway Inn where they had been drinking last autumn.
Her father was left with a gashed forehead and her mother was physically unhurt, but Georgina suffered severe head injuries.
