Murder charges over death of baby

A man and a woman have each been charged with murdering a 5-week-old baby.

Logan detectives on Wednesday morning arrested a Stretton man, 44, believed to be known to the baby, at a place in Yatala.

The woman, 36, also known to the baby, was arrested later that day in Zillmere.

Police allege that around 6.45pm on June 14, 2021, paramedics were called to a caravan park on Old Chatswood Road, Daisy Hill, in relation to an unresponsive baby.

The child was transported to Logan Hospital where he was declared deceased around 8.30pm.

Detectives from the Logan Child Protection and Investigation Unit launched ‘Operation Tango Triandra’, with the assistance of the Child Trauma Task Force, Crime and Intelligence Command.

Both of those arrested appeared in Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Thursday.

Police are now appealing to anyone with information regarding the death of this baby, to come forward.
