❌ISKANDER KECHICHE – WORCESTER❌
Father jailed after violently shaking baby son, leaving him with life-changing injuries
A Worcester father has been jailed after admitting violently shaking his three-and-a-half-month-old son, leaving the baby with severe, lifelong disabilities.
Iskander Kechiche, 49, of Worcester, was sentenced to three years and three months in prison at Worcester Crown Court after pleading guilty to section 20 grievous bodily harm.
The conviction followed an investigation by West Mercia Police’s Public Protection Unit into an incident in July 2021, when Kechiche was alone with his infant son.
The court heard the baby suffered significant head trauma after being violently shaken, resulting in catastrophic injuries that have left him with permanent disabilities.
On 29 July 2021, Kechiche called 999 requesting an ambulance, claiming his son had fallen from a sofa. However, medical staff became suspicious after the child was admitted to hospital in cardiac arrest and alerted police.
Officers attended the hospital and Kechiche was arrested two days later.
Although he denied causing the injuries during the investigation, detectives obtained evidence from several independent medical experts who concluded the child’s injuries were consistent with an abusive, non-accidental head injury. They agreed the only credible explanation was that the baby had been violently shaken.
Kechiche was initially charged in June 2024 with causing or allowing a child to suffer serious physical harm. The charge was later amended at Worcester Crown Court to section 18 grievous bodily harm before prosecutors accepted his guilty plea to the lesser offence of section 20 GBH.
When sentencing Kechiche, the judge imposed a prison term of 39 months, taking into account his guilty plea and previous good character. The maximum sentence available for the offence was five years.
The boy, now aged five, remains in the care of his family and continues to receive support from specialist medical, health and care services.
