Murder charge over death of Qld toddler

The boy was transported to hospital in a critical condition and died just over a week later, with the cause of death still unknown. 

He was at home with his mother and his mother's partner before emergency services arrived, Detective Senior Sergeant Joe Zitny said on Wednesday.

"Due to the tragic circumstances of what we believe happened at that location, the child has passed," he said.

On Wednesday evening police said a 33-year-old man had been charged with murder (Domestic Violence Offence) and was scheduled to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday.
