Portadown: Man accused of murdering three-year-old

The court was told Lewis’s mother Laura Graham also pleaded guilty to the same charge.

Delivering his opening statement, a prosecution lawyer said Lewis was 13 weeks old when he was admitted to Craigavon area hospital with “serious head injuries” in November 2015.

The barrister told the jury the prosecution was satisfied the child’s injuries were “non-accidental”.

The court heard that the three-year-old died three years later, in October 2018, after complications arising from surgery.

The lawyer said the serious injuries suffered by the child in 2015 were a “significant cause of his death”.

He told the jury a pathologist would give evidence that the infant’s head injury played a significant role in the pneumonia he contracted which resulted in his death.
