A two-year-old boy suffered 'weeks of misery' before he was 'murdered by his grandparents' while they were looking after him, a court has heard.
Ethan Ives-Griffiths was described as being 'severely underweight and covered in bruises' when he was found injured at the home of his grandparents.
The young boy was taken from their home in Garden City, North Wales, to Liverpool's Alder Hey hospital but later died from 'catastrophic' head injuries.
Grandfather Michael Ives, 46, and grandmother Kerry Ives, 45, are accused of murdering their grandson as well as assault and neglect.
Ethan's mother, Shannon Ives, was upstairs on her phone at the time he was struck the fatal blow, Mold Crown Court was told.
