This story is about Liam Deane, who killed his 2-day-old daughter, Luna, by fatally punching and shaking her because she wouldn’t stop crying. Luna died three days later from brain injuries, and Deane was sentenced to life in prison for the murder. He admitted to causing the injuries and expressed regret, though his actions were deemed incomprehensible by his defense attorney.

A month after being imprisoned, Deane was found dead in his cell. It was reported that he was allegedly killed by another inmate, John Westland, who later appeared in court regarding Deane’s death.

The case sparked strong reactions from the public, many expressing that Deane got what he deserved for killing his daughter. Several readers pointed out that prisoners often target individuals who commit heinous crimes against children, such as Deane, as such crimes are widely condemned in prison. While the justice system had given Deane a life sentence, many believed that the punishment from his cellmate was an act of “karma.”
