He had been discovered with his genitals out while on top of a dog in an alleyway.<\/p>\n<p>Then at 2am on August 1 last year the child&#8217;s mother found him with his thumbs in the eyes of the baby. When she screamed for help he started to strangle the boy.<\/p>\n<p>Ziemelis produced a green-handled knife and when he was hit with a piece of wood by the grandmother of the little boy he threw that woman across the room before punching the mother until she fell in and out of consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor went on: &#8216;He picked up (the boy) and dangled him out of window of first floor flat for a couple of minutes. A crowd had gathered because of the commotion. People were shouting not to hurt the baby.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He threw the baby to the left, away from the people as if he did not want them to catch him, but he was caught.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Ziemelis then bit the mother&#8217;s toe before throwing her out of the window. Her fall was broken because the onlookers had placed bins underneath the window. She suffered cuts, bruises and a loose tooth.<\/p>\n<p>The police arrived and found him on his back wearing only a pair of shorts, covered in blood. He said: &#8216;I feel broken all over.&#8217; He said he did not remember throwing either the baby or woman out of the window. Asked what would happen if a baby was thrown out of a window he said: &#8216;They would die.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>His blood was tested and it indicated he was a heavy cannabis user\u2026He said he had &#8216;displayed psychotic symptoms and episodes due to cannabis misuse.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The judge went on: &#8216;I do not need a professional to tell me you are dangerous. Anyone who could do that to a child is dangerous. The appropriate sentence is life imprisonment. Any other sentence would not be adequate to reflect what happened.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-6020661\/Crazed-cannabis-user-31-tried-kill-baby-jailed-life.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean Ziemelis, 31, attacked a seven-month-old baby at a flat in Luton last year&nbsp; A court heard he was high on cannabis when he threw the child out a window He also threw the child&#8217;s mother out of a window.
