A man accused of manslaughter over a baby’s drowning at a lakeside campsite intends to apply for bail, a magistrate has heard.

Jaye Lee Walton was exempt from making a personal appearance at Ipswich Magistrates Court today for the initial proceeding concerning his manslaughter charge as a domestic violence-related offense.

The 42-year-old was apprehended yesterday following the discovery of a seven-month-old boy by his mother over the weekend in a lake at Chatsworth Park, near Gympie, north of Brisbane.

People performed CPR before the baby was rushed to hospital, but the child was declared dead later that night.

Police on Monday said the mother was unable to explain how the infant ended up in the water.

“The child’s mother retrieved him from the water. This has evidently been a very traumatic ordeal for her,” Detective Inspector Craig Mansfield informed reporters.

Walton was later arrested after homicide detectives took up the case.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Jo Colston today did not oppose Butler’s application to adjourn the matter for one day.

Walker ordered Walton be remanded in custody to appear in person in Ipswich Magistrates Court tomorrow.

Butler declined to comment outside court.
