A 58-year-old man who admitted vigorously shaking his infant grandson who subsequently died in hospital of head and neck trauma four years ago, has been remanded in custody for sentencing next week.

Chang Teng Wang of Melville Rise, Finglas, Dublin 11 pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Sean Wang at the apartment in August 2019 but said he had been trying to comfort and calm the baby while minding him.

The Director of Public Prosecution has deemed the offence to be at the mid range but Wang’s defence counsel submitted today it should be considered at the lower end for sentencing. The court also heard there were references in documents to the baby’s death being described as an accident, but the prosecution counsel pointed out that if it had been an accident there would be no crime.An uneducated, simple man, from a very poor background in China, he had no experience of childminding and told gardaí the baby was difficult to mind and he would prefer to be working.
