🚨 His own 4-week-old son.
Tony Bartlett, 39, is on trial at Bristol Crown Court accused of murdering his tiny baby boy Atticus Bartlett.
The one-month-old was left with his father for just a few moments while his mother went upstairs. Bartlett, who had drunk up to nine pints, violently shook the helpless newborn with such savage force that he caused catastrophic injuries:
• Severe brain damage from shaking
• Spinal cord damage
• Multiple rib fractures
• Internal bleeding
• Retinal haemorrhages (bleeding in the eyes)
All in such a short space of time.
Little Atticus was rushed to hospital lifeless. He never breathed for himself again. He never regained consciousness.
He died on 23 July 2022.
A father is supposed to protect his child. Instead, he shook his own four-week-old baby so violently that his tiny body was broken beyond repair.
Why didn’t he just take him upstairs to his mother ?
This is pure evil. Our most innocent are not safe, even in their own homes.
