Tony Bartlett, 38, is accused of murdering his one-month-old son, Atticus, who died in July 2022 in Chard. He appeared in court.
The baby, Atticus Bartlett, was only one month old. He died back in July of 2022. Tony is 38 years old and lives in Axminster, Devon.
He showed up in court in Yeovil yesterday. They sent him to Bristol Crown Court for today. This case is very sad. Police arrested a young woman in her 20s during the investigation in July 2022. They won’t take any more action against her now.
A police detective spoke about the case, saying it was a deeply sad situation. A tiny baby lost his life. The police did a long probe, and their Major Crime team investigated it. This investigation led to Bartlett being charged and brought to court this week.
This is a hard time for Atticus’ family. Police are giving them special support and ask that people respect their privacy. This news may upset people in Chard. Local police will help anyone with worries.
The court will share all case details later. Please don’t guess about what happened, as this could hurt the family more and affect the trial’s fairness. Speculation can cause problems.
