A man will stand trial on serious charges that he assaulted a baby who died of injuries a year later.
The baby was allegedly assaulted on July 24 last year and a man was charged with two counts of intentionally causing grievous bodily harm.
A homicide inquiry was launched by police after the child died this July - just over a year later.
Police had said they were reviewing the case and considering laying homicide charges.
However, a High Court pre-trial hearing in Christchurch this morning heard that there will be no change to the charges that the man faces.
