Lewis Oliver Rowland died aged three in October 2018 of earlier ‘non-accidental’ and ‘catastrophic’ brain injuries
A 29-year-old Co Armagh man has been given a life sentence after he was found guilty by a jury of murdering his son.
In a trial that spanned a period of four weeks, the jury heard that on November 20th, 2015, Craig Rowland and Laura Graham brought their son Lewis to Craigavon Area Hospital. It was the prosecution’s case that the “non-accidental” and “catastrophic” brain injuries suffered by Lewis – which a number of medical professionals determined were as a result of the baby being shaken – played a significant role in his death.
Rowland displayed no emotion as he stood in the dock of Belfast Crown Court when the guilty verdict was delivered.
