No one knows exactly how a 10-month-old Rotorua baby died a violent death, but the man responsible for inflicting the fatal injuries will spend six years and five months behind bars for killing him. Shane Claude Roberts, 61, appeared in the High Court at Rotorua today for sentencing after being found guilty last year by a jury of Karlos Stephens manslaughter. The jury found Roberts not guilty of the baby s murder.
