The trial of man accused of murdering a baby has been delayed.
James Hunt, aged 27, was due to be tried at Exeter Crown Court next month for the alleged murder of 10-month-old Kimberley Barrett at Ottery St Mary in December 2011.
The case has been taken out of the list because expert medical evidence is still being obtained and is not likely to be heard before September.
Hunt, of Pellinore Road, Exeter, was remanded in custody. He pleaded not guilty to murder at an earlier hearing.
Judge Francis Gilbert, QC, Recorder of the City of Exeter, adjourned the case, which is to be tried in front of a High Court judge.
He extended custody time limits to allow Hunt to remain on remand until the date of his trial.
