prison -- Daniel Anthony Cann, Paul Christian Darrell and Damon DeRoza.

Cann received an eight-year prison sentence in July, 1994, for the manslaughter of his ten-month-old daughter Cannice White in June, 1991. He was convicted of the offence after a trial which revealed the little girl died from a severe brain injury which medical experts said likely resulted from the child being shaken.

Cann was also convicted of grievous bodily harm after it was determined he burnt his daughter with a clothing iron.

On May 2, 1997, Bermuda's courts sent Paul Christian Darrell to prison for 14 years after finding him guilty of the manslaughter of his two-year-old son D'shun Dill.

D'shun died on December 14, 1994, from blood loss and shock resulting from injuries caused by a blunt instrument which top US pathologist Valerie Rao called the worst case of child abuse she had seen in 20 years.

And on December 16, 1997, Damon DeRoza was sentenced to death after drowning his five-year-old daughter Lynae Brown in Hamilton Harbour in November, 1996.

The murder conviction was later overturned by the Court of Appeal who sentenced him to life behind bars for the lesser charge of manslaughter.
