Father Accused of Fatally Shaking 4-Week-Old Son

Father Accused of Fatally Shaking 4-Week-Old Son

A Bristol Crown Court jury heard harrowing testimony from a mother who discovered her four-week-old son Atticus Bartlett 'limp and grey' after his father allegedly shook him with fatal force.

The prosecution alleges that Tony Bartlett violently shook the infant, causing catastrophic brain damage that left the baby unable to breathe independently.

The mother described her screams upon finding her son and recounted the desperate efforts to revive him before he died in hospital.

The father denies the charges in a case that has drawn national attention to the devastating consequences of infant shaking.
