Man accused of attacking babies

A man is due to go on trial accused of assaulting two babies.

Liam Simpson, 22, is accused of assaulting the first baby boy, when he was a month old by repeatedly inflicting blunt force trauma to his head at a house in Edinburgh in December 2014. He is also charged with assaulting another baby boy over a four-month period from December 2016 at another house in Edinburgh.

Simpson pled not guilty to the charges when he appeared at the High Court in Glasgow yesterday.
