A Melbourne man charged with killing his girlfriend’s baby has blamed a spider scare for the injuries that led to the death of the 6-month-old boy.

According to 9news, Dwayne Lindsey is on trial in the Supreme Court of Victoria, charged with killing baby Chayse Dearing in June 2016, just days after proposing marriage to the child’s mother, Michelle Dearing.

The woman reportedly left the child in Lindsey’s care while she was out shopping.
