A DAD has denied shaking his baby son to death.

Gary Colin Peel, aged 33, pleaded not guilty to murdering two-month old Kian at Chester Crown Court last Thursday.

Peel, of St Austell Close, Brookvale, also denies a second charge of committing grievous bodily harm with intent.

He was granted conditional bail - he must reside at his parent's home in Widnes - and will stand trial accused of murder at Chester Crown Court in April next year.
