A jury has found a couple guilty of wilfully neglecting a 10-week-old baby boy.
The couple, who have name suppression, had been on trial this week in the Napier District Court for neglecting to seek medical treatment for the young child, who was found to have a number of fractures when he was taken to hospital in early April 2011.
The jury returned its verdict this morning following the three-day trial.
During the trial, crown prosecutor Steve Manning said the crown could not prove how the injuries were caused but the focus of the case was that no medical treatment was sought for the baby.
Mr Manning said the injuries were caused before the couple moved to Hawke's Bay in March 2011.
