A dad accused of murdering his two-year-old son watched a YouTube video on how to perform CPR before calling paramedics for his son.
But in the weeks before Damion was injured, a manager at Haweside Nursery, where the little boy was registered, contacted Children's Services, raising concerns Damion had only attended a small number of sessions. A social worker also tried to contact Hardcastle over concerns he had not taken his son to an occupational therapy appointment. A foster carer, who had looked after the little boy, tried to arrange a visit but got no response from Hardcastle.
CCTV and mobile phone evidence As Damion was taken to hospital, Hardcastle was arrested on suspicion of wounding. After the little boy died, he was arrested again, on suspicion of murder. As detectives pieced together the events leading up to the incident they recovered CCTV and mobile phone evidence of Hardcastle's movements in the days and weeks before Damion was injured.
