Qld: Man accused of giving 3yo poison granted bail
BRISBANE, Feb 18 AAP - A Brisbane man who allegedly poured poison into his three-year-old
son's mouth has been released on bail.
The 23-year-old Keperra man faced Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday charged with
one count of administering poison with intent to harm and one count of acts intending
to disable.
It is alleged the incident occurred at a Keperra residence on February 1.
The three-year-old boy was taken to the Royal Children's Hospital but has since been released.
Outside the court, the 23-year-old's partner said she did not believe he was guilty.
"We both love these kids to death, he's a nice person," she said.
"He loves his kids and would never do anything to hurt them."
The 23-year-old man will reappear in Brisbane Magistrates Court for a committal mention
on March 30.
Police prosecutors did not oppose bail.
The 23-year-old has been ordered not to come into contact with the complainants, which
include his three-year-old and five-year-old sons.
