A 39-year-old woman has admitted murdering her two-year-old son in North Yorkshire.
Outside court, Detective Inspector Matt Hollingsworth said: "The loss of Daniel, at such a young age, is beyond comprehension.
"I'd like to thank all the team who have worked on this harrowing investigation and ensured that we could bring this matter to court." Christopher Atkinson, head of the crown court unit at CPS North East, said the "tragic sequence of events" which led to the little boy's death had now been established.
He said: "In response to a robust case against her, Carol Hodgson has now pleaded guilty to Daniel's murder and we sincerely hope that those who knew Daniel find some measure of comfort in this, at what must remain a very difficult time for them."
