A baby who is in a critical condition in intensive care having sustained multiple brain bleeds and a fractured skull, allegedly inflicted by the father, “is not likely to survive,” a court heard on Friday. Earlier at Craigavon Magistrates Court, deputy district judge Peter Prenter granted bail to the man but he attached multiple, stringent conditions. “Police attended and on arrival, ambulance staff were performing CPR,” she told the court. “He lifted the baby and their head was floppy so he took the baby to the mother and she said to phone for an ambulance,” the prosecutor told the court. They included that the defendant reside in an approved address, his father signs a £2,000 surety and he has no contact with any witness.
