Tommy Lee Laverick-Whitworth died at Leeds General Infirmary

A man accused of the manslaughter of his baby son has been told by a judge he will now face a murder charge.

Tommy Lee Laverick-Whitworth died in hospital on 25 September after an ambulance was called to an address in Anlaby Road, Hull, two days earlier.

Liam Laverick, 25, of Beeford Grove, was told of the plan to alter the charges at Hull Crown Court.

Jeremy Richardson QC said the charge would be changed to murder before his next court appearance in September.

Mr Laverick was remanded in custody and is due back in court on 11 September.
