Everleigh Stroud spent more than a year of her life in hospital after being shaken by her father
A father has been found guilty of murdering his baby daughter after he told a court he could not remember what happened the night she suffered severe injuries.
Thomas Holford admitted the manslaughter of Everleigh Stroud, after the five-week-old baby suffered "violent shaking" when she spent the night alone with him in the bedroom he shared with her teenage mother in Ramsgate.
The court previously heard how Holford, of Ramsgate, claimed he had no memory of the incident, and he had smoked multiple cannabis joints on the evening he attacked his daughter.
The jury at Canterbury Crown Court found him guilty of murder and causing actual bodily harm on Thursday.
