Residents in Wolverhampton street where killer mother lived speak of their disgust
Residents on the Wolverhampton street Carla Scott once called home have spoken of their disgust at the circumstances of the death of her son Alfie Steele.
Scott, 35, has been found guilty of Alfie's manslaughter and her partner, 41-year-old Dirk Howell, guilty of his murder on February 18, 2021.
Alfie had 50 injuries all over his body and was found lifeless and submerged with a body temperature of 23C in a warm bath, Coventry Crown Court heard.
It had been revealed that neighbours had raised concerns for months before Alfie was killed by his mother and her partner, with a safeguarding review now under way.
Scott lived on Dryden Road in Wolverhampton, before moving to Droitwich in Worcestershire. It is believed she went to Berrybrook Primary School in Wolverhampton and then left Moreton Secondary School in the city at 16.
The street in the Scotlands Estate was quiet on Wednesday, but residents there who remember Scott recall her as loud and scruffy, but were also angered by her actions.
One woman, who didn't want to be named, said she was having a hard time talking about it because she found it very unsettling to think about.
