Young dad 'bit baby daughter and shaking her to death

A young dad bit his baby daughter on the forehead and killed her with repeated blows and violent shaking, a court heard.
Despite the numerous injuries suffered by two-month-old Aukse, he claimed she had died accidentally by falling out of bed, jurors were told.
Lithuanian Aurimas Medvedevas, 23, is on trial at the Old Bailey charged with murdering his daughter while her mother was at work on September 5 last year.
Agency worker Dzesika Urbikaite, 22, returned to their Peterborough home that night to find her daughter dead in a cot, the court heard.
Prosecutor Karim Khalil QC said the cause of death was a head injury although there were "signs of numerous other inflicted injuries too".
A post-mortem examination uncovered a catalogue of bruises and abrasions on Aukse's body as well as two bite marks on her head.

She suffered significant internal injuries including a deep cut to the liver, five rib fractures, and bleeding on the brain and eyes indicating that she had been shaken.
An examination of one of the bite marks showed it matched the defendant's teeth imprint, the court heard.
After he was arrested, the defendant admitted he had been in sole care of the baby but denied hurting her.
Before his trial, he produced an account claiming the baby must have fallen out of bed and hit her head on the side of the cot while he was beside her in a deep sleep.
Then on the day his trial was due to start in May, he produced a radically different account, accepting for the first time that he caused the injuries, the court heard.
He said he had shaken his baby and thrown her on the bed and then from there she fell to the floor, the court heard.
But the prosecutor said that Medvedevas had still failed to account for all the injuries Aukse suffered and there was no explanation for the bite marks on her forehead.
Mr Khalil told jurors: "For reasons known only to him but which may well be rooted in the pressures of home life and his own inability to cope with the change in his circumstances, he took hold of his own baby, he bit her on the head, he struck her repeatedly and he shook her hard. As a result of all that she died, not immediately, but a few hours later.
"As he committed those acts of violence against baby Aukse he must have intended to kill her or cause her really serious harm. That is murder."
Medvedevas, of Clifton Avenue, Peterborough, denies murder and the trial continues.
