Prison sentence for father who caused son's deathNICOLE GOURLEY/FAIRFAX NZ Police staff at the Riverton home where three-month-old Honour Ashworth was injured. The soul of a grieving Southland mother was "ripped to pieces" when finding out her partner caused the death of their infant son. Jenna Ashworth's heartbreak was laid bare when she read her victim impact statement in open court on Thursday, describing the anguish the death of her 11-week-old son, Honour Ashworth, had on herself and her family. Ashworth said her soul had been ripped to pieces when she found out Mitchell had caused their son's death. Mitchell had initially been charged with murder but was never going to plead guilty because he never intended to kill his son, Westgate said.
