A mother testifies that a man accused of murdering her two-year-old son was physically rough with the child on earlier occasions. Speaking to a jury, the woman says the accused believed the toddler was “naughty” during toilet training and grabbed him while trying to address the child’s behaviour. The testimony is presented as part of the prosecution’s account leading up to the child’s death, with the allegations describing conduct by the accused that the mother says occurred before the fatal incident. The reports state that the mother tells the court about her observations and what she says the accused did, framing the behaviour around toilet-training disputes and the toddler’s actions. The details are being assessed as evidence in the trial, and the accused is not portrayed as having admitted the allegations in the summaries. The case remains before the court as arguments and evidence continue.
