A man has been charged with manslaughter after the death of a three-month-old boy who received life-threatening injuries in Napier almost 18 months ago.
Police Eastern District Child Protection Team leader Detective Senior Sergeant Sally Patrick said the baby had been flown to Starship Children's Hospital on March 20 last year.
The child had been taken by ambulance to Hawke's Bay Hospital with injuries allegedly received at a Napier address.
The infant's condition deteriorated and he died three days later.
Police have not released the name of the child and are not releasing further information.
