Overview
- The man was formally charged late in June and appeared at Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Monday where police said they will oppose bail.
- The case stems from an infant taken to Bundaberg Hospital in late February 2024 who was airlifted to Queensland Children’s Hospital and died on 3 March 2024.
- Detective Inspector Wade Lee said investigators allege the baby's injuries are consistent with a child-shaking type injury and that medical evidence was central to the two-year probe.
