Dad sentenced to life for baby’s murder

A serial child abuser who killed his three-month-old son with a blow to his head has been given a life sentence.

West Australian Supreme Court Justice Ralph Simmonds on Friday sentenced John Patrick O’Kane, 41, to life, with a minimum non-parole period of 18 years, for the murder of his son Zach in January last year.

O’Kane had pleaded guilty to murdering his infant son before burying him in a bush grave in WA’s southwest.
