This is the face of the 24-year-old man who murdered his partner's daughter in what was described as a "regime of escalating brutality".
Scott Jeff was found guilty of the murder of Isabella Wheildon on Friday afternoon after a trial lasting more than six weeks at Ipswich Crown Court.
Isabella's mother, Chelsea Gleason-Mitchell, had denied murder and was cleared of the charge by the jury.
Jeff was also found guilty of two counts of cruelty to a child under 16, while Gleason-Mitchell had previously admitted causing or allowing the death of a child and two counts of cruelty to a child under 16.
Suffolk police has now released mugshots of the pair that were taken after they were arrested.
Prosecutors had told the trial that the defendants, who had entered into a relationship about a month before Isabella was found dead on June 30, 2023, that the toddler was subjected to a "regime of escalating brutality" by the couple.
The pair will be sentenced on December 13.
