Abdoul Boudabes, 39, pictured outside the Old Bailey today, has been cleared of murder

An Uber driver accused of shaking his eight-week-old son to death because he soiled himself wept in court today as he was cleared of murder.

Abdoul Boudabes was said to have lost his temper with Tyrone as his partner Henrietta Beugre took a shower at their flat in Plumstead, South East London.

The 39-year-old, of Walthamstow, East London, was in a rush because he was due to meet his other lover Safi Totaud, the Old Bailey heard.

Boudabes was alleged to have shaken his son with such force that he suffered fatal brain damage.

Tyrone was later found lying naked and unresponsive on a changing mat at the end of the bed and he died from his injuries in hospital days later.

A post-mortem revealed he had suffered a number of bleeds on the brain, trauma to his spine and retinal haemorrhages, the court heard.

But Boudabes claimed he had accidentally dropped the baby and insisted injuries must have been caused by paramedics and doctors when they tried to revive Tyrone.

He said he thought the ambulance staff 'lacked experience' and told the court he felt injections administered to tiny Tyrone 'might have been too much for him'.

Boudabes, who lives on this road in Walthamstow, East London, denied murder and an alternative charge of manslaughter - and was acquitted by the jury of both charges

Jurors today found Boudabes not guilty of murder as well as an alternative count of manslaughter after deliberating for more than 12 hours following a seven-week trial.

He closed his eyes and pointed to the heavens, quietly mouthing words to himself as the verdicts were read out.

Boudabes denied murder and an alternative charge of manslaughter - and was acquitted by the jury of both charges.

The Common Serjeant of London, Judge Richard Marks, QC, discharged him and he could be seen weeping outside of the courtroom following the verdicts.
