Appeal for information after death of newborn

A CORONER has appealed for anyone who can help gardaí with their investigation into the death of a 10-day-old baby, which was treated as murder, to come forward.

He was speaking at Drogheda Coroners Court yesterday where it was heard the newborn had died from blunt trauma to his head.

The State Pathologist Dr Marie Cassidy concluded death was due to head injuries caused by blunt trauma to the head.
