Lewis Oliver Rowland was 13 weeks old when he was admitted to hospital with 'serious head injuries'.
A baby, whose father is accused of killing him, had to be fed through a tube in hospital, a trial has heard.
Lewis was 13 weeks old when he was admitted to Craigavon Area Hospital with "serious head injuries" in November 2015.On Monday, Belfast Crown Court heard from consultant paediatric neurosurgeon, Jayaratnam Jayamohan.He also said he believes the injuries suffered by Lewis were caused by “shaking“ and possibly by what he described as “an impact".
Asked by a defence lawyer if Lewis was “very ill when taken to hospital“, the witness replied: “He could have died very easily”.Dr Kieran McHugh told the jury that a rib fracture sustained by the baby was consistent with the child's chest being squeezed "severely and inappropriately".
