Jamie Varley, 37, told police he had left 13-month-old Preston alone for two or three minutes before reentering the room to find him underwater.

The boyfriend of a teacher accused of murdering a baby boy the couple were adopting told jurors 'he never did anything' to make him question the infant's safety.
