Father sentenced to 20 years for murder of infant son

A man who shook his baby son so violently that it caused “catastrophic” brain injuries has been told he will spend the next 20 years behind bars for the child’s murder.

Lewis Oliver Rowland sustained life-changing brain injuries in November 2015 and was left with a range of disabilities when he was just 13 weeks old.

Craig Rowland, 29, from Millington Park in Portadown, County Armagh, denied murdering his son.

He stood trial last October and at the conclusion the jury of eight men and four women convicted him on a charge of murder.

The child died in October 2018 in his foster mother’s arms, aged three, from complications arising from surgery to insert a feeding tube into his stomach.

It was the prosecution’s case that the injuries suffered by the child in 2015 were a “significant cause of his death”.
