As stated by Detective Senior Sergeant Kevan Verry:
A 23-year-old Porirua man is facing two new charges in relation to the death of a three-month-old girl in Porirua on 13 November 2018.
The man appeared in Wellington District Court today charged with manslaughter and wounding with reckless disregard.
