Accused baby shaker charged

Thetford police have arrested a man on suspicion of abusing his baby then beating his wife.

When his wife, the baby's mother intervened, police said he punched her in the face repeatedly and threatened her with a knife.
Quillia is charged with aggravated domestic assault and child abuse.
