A dad accused of murdering his two-week-old baby daughter has been found not guilty by a jury.
Darin Harvey, of Birch Road, Wardle, was accused of shaking his baby daughter Felicity-May Harvey at the home he shared with his fiancée and the baby's mother on Stirling Place, Heywood, on January 8, 2021. The 26-year-old denied the offence.
After days of deliberations the jury found Mr Harvey not guilty of murder, or of manslaughter. During the two-week trial at Bolton Crown Court prosecutors alleged that Felicity had suffered ‘catastrophic’ injuries after being shaken with an ‘abusive level of force’.
