Construction worker remanded over attempted murder of 1-year-old stepson

24-year-old construction worker, Shawn Davidson, was charged and remanded to prison today over the attempted murder of his 1-year-old stepson.

Davidson is accused of beating the child badly, resulting in the child suffering a broken leg and other injuries.

The man was also accused of burning the child to his feet and other parts of the body. The teen mother of the child, who is currently pregnant, has also complained about being abused by the man.

The accused was arrested earlier this week by the Police after concerned citizens in the North East Squatting area effected a citizens arrest of their own.

In Court today, he was not required to enter a plea to the indictable attempted murder charge.

He has been remanded to jail until the 12th August when the matter will continue.
