A man has been found guilty of fatally injuring his four-week-old son after a night out. Tony Bartlett was convicted by a jury for causing the fatal harm to his infant son, Atticus, at their home in Chard, Somerset, on 16 July 2022. It was revealed during the trial that Bartlett, aged 39, had consumed up to nine pints of beer prior to the incident.
Atticus suffered critical injuries, including severe damage to his spinal cord and ribs, alongside brain trauma so extensive that he never regained consciousness or the ability to breathe without assistance. Despite medical efforts, the baby passed away seven days later.
Bartlett, who resides in Axminster, Devon, is due to be sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on 24 July.

Upon returning home, Ballentyne went upstairs, leaving Bartlett alone with Atticus. When she came back, she discovered their son was “lifeless” and taking his final breaths without assistance.
