Alexander James Young, 22, has been kept in custody after being charged with domestic violence murder and torture following the death of his four-month-old son, Lucas Young.

22 歲的 Alexander James Young 因涉嫌對 4 個月大的兒子 Lucas Young 實行家庭暴力謀殺與虐待，在被起訴後一直被拘留。

The events began on February 26, 2024, when paramedics were called to a home in Bundaberg West. The baby was taken to Bundaberg Hospital and later flown to the Queensland Children's Hospital in Brisbane, where he passed away on March 3, 2024. The criminal investigation started because hospital staff noticed unusual injuries and reported them to the police.

事件始於 2024 年 2 月 26 日，當時救護人員被召至邦達伯西區的一處住所。嬰兒被送往邦達伯醫院，隨後被轉運至布里斯本的昆士蘭兒童醫院，並於 2024 年 3 月 3 日去世。由於醫院職員發現嬰兒有異常傷勢並向警方舉報，刑事調查隨即展開。

Acting Detective Inspector Wade Lee emphasized that the investigation was a careful and detailed process, as cases involving the death of children are often complex. Police assert that the baby suffered a 'child shake injury,' meaning the case will depend heavily on medical evidence. Furthermore, it was revealed that the family had previously dealt with child protective services. While the mother is cooperating with the police, the focus of the arrest was the father's involvement.

代理偵緝督察 Wade Lee 強調，由於涉及兒童死亡的案件通常較為複雜，因此調查過程十分謹慎且詳盡。警方聲稱嬰兒遭受了「嬰兒搖盪傷害」，這意味著本案將高度依賴醫療證據。此外，調查揭露該家庭此前曾與兒童保護服務部門打交道。雖然母親正配合警方調查，但逮捕的重點在於父親的牽涉程度。

On Monday, the defendant appeared in the Bundaberg Magistrates Court via video link. Magistrate John McInnes refused the request for bail and ordered that a brief of evidence be prepared. The defendant, who lived in Bundaberg West and Kalkie, is expected to return to court on August 25.

週一，被告透過視訊連線於邦達伯地方法院出庭。地方法官 John McInnes 拒絕了保釋請求，並命令準備一份證據摘要。被告居住於邦達伯西區與 Kalkie，預計將於 8 月 25 日再次返回法院。

The defendant will remain in prison until his next court hearing on August 25.

被告將繼續被監禁，直到 8 月 25 日的下次法庭聆訊。
