Jurors paid a visit yesterday to the residence of Karim Salahuddin, the young father accused of killing his infant daughter.

Salahuddin, of Serpentine Road in Pembroke, is charged with the murder of his daughter, Cassidy Ann. Cassidy died early on the morning of May 6, 2003, after injuries sustained while she was in her father?s care. She was six months old.

Medical experts have testified that Cassidy died of shaken baby syndrome, and that the injuries she sustained could not have been caused by rolling down a hill.

In early statements to Police Salahuddin admitted to shaking his daughter hard several times, and slapping her across the face once.

However according to Police statements he later changed his story. He is recorded as telling Police that the ?whole shaking bit? was a ?fake? story that he had made up, and that in fact he had dropped Cassidy out of a pumpkin seat on a hill, where she tumbled to the bottom.

Police have been accused of fabricating the statements and lying on the stand by Salahuddin?s lawyer, John Perry Q.C. They denied the accusations.

Yesterday, scene of crime officer Joel Alex Hayward told the court that jurors were led up a flight of steps outside the house Salahuddin was living in at the time, and where the crime is alleged to have taken place.

They were taken around the back of the house before being returned to court. No further details about the visit could be given for legal reasons.

Also in court yesterday, the jurors heard from Cassidy?s great-uncle, Christopher John Cassidy.

Mr. Cassidy told the court how his sister, Cassidy?s grandmother, had called him from the hospital on the evening of May 5, 2003. He then rushed to the emergency room to be with his family.

Mr. Cassidy also testified that, while at the hospital as doctors and nurses battled to save the infant, someone asked Salahuddin what happened. Salahuddin replied that Cassidy had fallen from a pumpkin seat. Mr. Cassidy said Salahuddin told them she had not been strapped in and the handle on the seat had not been up at the time.

The statement of an emergency room nurse who was part of the fight to save Cassidy on May 5 was also read in court yesterday.

The nurse said in the statement that a man she believed was Cassidy?s father was in the room with doctors and nurses. The man was upset and crying, and she did not hear him say anything to anyone.

The nurse later led the man to the bathroom. She said she heard ?several thumps and a loud cry? from the bathroom. ?It sounded like he was hitting something.?

The trial continues on Monday morning before Chief Justice Richard Ground.
