Simon Vickers: Dad who claimed teen daughter's death was 'freak accident' jailed for at least 15 years
- Simon Vickers was convicted of murdering his daughter, Scarlett, and sentenced to a minimum of 15 years in prison after forensic evidence contradicted his claims of a freak accident during a play fight.
- Scarlett, 14, died from an 11 cm stab wound to her heart, with pathologist Dr. Jennifer Bolton stating the injury could only result from a knife held firmly.
- The prosecution argued that Vickers' account was inconsistent with the forensic evidence, which showed that the knife must have been gripped during the stabbing.
- Vickers' partner, Sarah Hall, expressed disbelief over the conviction, maintaining that he did not intend to harm their daughter, who was described as the love of his life.
