A neighbour of a family whose baby is at the centre of a homicide investigation in Te Kūiti has told Newshub he heard “hysterical” screaming on Saturday afternoon.
Waikato Police launched a homicide inquiry on Sunday after a baby boy died following “violent, blunt-force trauma”.
The 10-month-old was brought unconscious to Te Kuiti Hospital on Saturday afternoon, but was unable to be resuscitated. Staff alerted police, who say an initial examination showed the baby boy suffered traumatic injuries.
