Story summary

On October 1, a three-month-old baby boy from Ipswich, west of Brisbane, was taken to an Ipswich hospital with significant internal injuries. The child's condition deteriorated, and he was transferred to the Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane, where he died on Tuesday afternoon. A 28-year-old father was arrested overnight by detectives from the Ipswich Child Protection Investigation Unit and charged with murder involving domestic violence against a child. He is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court later this week as investigations continue into the nature of the injuries sustained by the infant.
