A Queensland<\/a> man has been charged with the murder of his three-month-old baby son, after the boy died in hospital this week.<\/p>\n

The infant, from the Ipswich area west of Brisbane, died almost a week after being taken to hospital with \u201csignificant internal injuries\u201d. The boy had been on life support.<\/p>\n

Uneeb Ullah, 28, was arrested on Tuesday evening and charged with the boy\u2019s murder, which is designated a domestic violence offence.<\/p>\n

His matter was mentioned briefly in court on Wednesday but Ullah was not required to appear and did not enter a plea.<\/p>\n

Police said detectives from the Child Protection Investigation Unit launched an investigation on 1 October after the boy was taken to Ipswich hospital with significant injuries, and that the nature of those injuries prompted hospital staff to report the matter to police.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, DI Michael Manago said the mother of the child was \u201cextremely upset\u201d and that both parents, who were born overseas, have limited support.<\/p>\n

The boy was the couple\u2019s only child.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a terribly tragic event involving a very vulnerable young member of the community,\u201d Det Insp. Manago said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boy\u2019s mother is extremely upset as you can imagine; this is a terribly tragic event.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is struggling, but we\u2019re offering her all the support that we can through this very difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police said they had spoken to the couple several times since they opened the investigation. The investigation would include looking at the \u201cnature and dynamics\u201d of the boy\u2019s parents\u2019 relationship.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an incredibly confronting and difficult investigation,\u201d Manago said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were conducting our investigation throughout the last number of days and gathering evidence.<\/p>\n

When Ullah\u2019s case came before the court on Wednesday, police prosecutor Ben Messina asked it be stood down until later in the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI received a phone call this morning \u2026 that potentially more material would be provided and asked [that] this matter be stood down to the end of the list,\u201d Messina said of the \u201crelatively vague request\u201d.<\/p>\n

The magistrate agreed to re-mention the case if other charges were laid.<\/p>\n

Kirstyn Nicholson, a Legal Aid solicitor representing Ullah, did not apply for bail and sought an adjournment.<\/p>\n

Ullah was remanded in custody until the matter returns to court on 26 October.<\/p>\n
