Columbia Man Charged in Infant Abuse
A 30-year-old Columbia man is facing two counts of child abuse or neglect after a three-month-old infant was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.
Court documents say doctors found multiple skull fractures, brain hemorrhages and several broken bones, some showing signs of older injuries.
Muhire Augustin told investigators he accidentally dropped the baby while carrying the child after slipping on water.
A judge denied bond Thursday. His next bond hearing is scheduled for November 17th.
