A MAN has been arrested and charged with murder following the death of a baby girl in Blayney last week.
It’s alleged the girl had sustained a head injury after falling from a trampoline at her family home in Mandurama.
She was taken to Blayney District Hospital last Wednesday by a 35-year-old man where doctors performed CPR on the 11-month-old but she died a short time later.
Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad and officers from the Chifley Local Area Command formed Strike Force Zarebski to investigate the incident.
After making a number of inquiries, and receiving the results of post mortem examinations, police arrested a 35-year-old man outside the Bathurst Police Station at 4.10pm yesterday.
He was then taken inside the police station, where he was charged with one count of murder.
The man was refused bail and is scheduled to appear before Bathurst Local Court today.
