Darin Harvey is on trial accused of the murder of Felicity-May Harvey
Police interview transcripts were read out to a jury of the moment a dad denied murdering his 20-day-old baby. A jury heard Darin Harvey told officers it was the 'God's honest truth' that he did not kill his daughter.
The court heard that Harvey called Ms Connolly just after 2.31pm saying "something's wrong with baby" and she came rushing into the house where Felicity-May was found 'floppy' and 'unresponsive'. Detective Constable Kate Grundy read the transcripts of the police interviews to the court along with the prosecution.
Harvey recalled to the officer that Ms Connolly told her she was due a feed after she left the house. He continued that he went to the bedroom and picked her up and had 'no concern'. He was pressed again and said "I'm telling you the exact truth". He went on to say "hand on heart I told you the exact truth, it's exactly what happened, that's the God's honest truth". At this point Felicity-May was critically ill with a very poor prognosis.
