Tony Bartlett has been charged with the murder of his one-month-old son, Atticus, who died on July 23, 2022. Following more than two years of investigation by a Major Crime Investigation Team, Bartlett appeared in court and has been remanded in custody. The case has raised significant emotional distress in the community, leading authorities to request respect for the family's privacy and discourage speculation around the ongoing legal process, which could affect the defendant's right to a fair trial.
This is a deeply sad case in which a young baby, who was only a few weeks old, has tragically lost their life.
An extensive police investigation has been carried out, led by our Major Crime Investigation Team, over the past two-and-a-half years.
We would please ask on their behalf that their privacy is respected.
Such speculation will likely not only cause further distress to Atticus' family, but also could prejudice the future legal proceedings.
