The court found beyond reasonable doubt that the accused, as a person having care of the child, inflicted repeated non‑accidental physical injuries corroborated by the victim's evidence and medical examinations; the defence explanations were disbelieved and failed to raise reasonable doubt, therefore conviction under Section 31(1)(a) Child Act 2001 is proper and a two‑year custodial sentence is appropriate given the facts and lesser severity compared to cases involving fractures.
