Queensland man charged with murder after baby dies from injuries
A three-month-old baby boy has died from severe internal injuries in Queensland, Australia. Uneeb Ullah, a 28-year-old kebab shop worker, has been charged with one count of murder, categorised as a domestic violence offence against a child. The case highlights authorities' swift response to safeguarding infants and investigating serious harm to vulnerable children.
Police launched their investigation after the infant was taken to Ipswich Hospital last Thursday with significant internal injuries and transferred to Brisbane's Queensland Children's Hospital, where he died on Tuesday afternoon. Ullah was arrested at his Ipswich apartment shortly after and remanded in custody with bail refused; the matter returns to court on 26 October. Detective Inspector Mick Manago stated that Ullah was alone with his son when the baby was injured, and that hospital staff's report of the injuries prompted the police investigation.
