Did 31-year-old dad from Gooik kill his 6-week-old baby on purpose and does he have to go to assize for that? “He never wanted this”

A classic case of shaken baby syndrome where a frustrated father could no longer cope with his baby’s cries or was there more to it? A 31-year-old man from Gooik (Pajottegem) in Flemish Brabant has been in custody for a year after his six-week-old baby died. Tomorrow he will hear whether he has to appear before the court of assizes or the criminal court. He now admitted that he shook the baby, but what exactly happened? And does the mother also have to appear in court?
