An alleged baby killer plans to make a bid for freedom after almost 2.5 years behind bars on remand as his legal team seeks “an extraordinary grant” of money for his case.

Mackay father Ayden Jedd Bradshaw is charged with murdering his son Beau Bradshaw in mid 2020 after the six-month-old baby was discovered unresponsive.

Beau had spent the morning with his family at the beach on June 2 before an ambulance was called to his East Mackay home.

Six-month-old Beau Frank Bradshaw was found unresponsive at an East Mackay home in June 2020.

It is alleged the little boy suffered traumatic brain and other internal injuries resulting in his death.

He was flown from Mackay Base Hospital to Townsville that night and later died on June 4. His organs were donated.

A two-month intensive police investigation culminated in August 2020 with the arrest of Mr Bradshaw, who was then charged with murder.

Defence barrister Scott McLennan told Mackay Supreme Court on Monday a Legal Aid Queensland funding grant had been approved for his client’s bail application.

He said he intended on making a bail application, adding the material had been drafted and he intended to “settle on that urgently”.

Mr Bradshaw has been in custody since his arrest in August 2020.

Mr McLennan also told the court “an extraordinary grant from Legal Aid” regarding preparation for the matter included enlisting “an expert”.

Beau’s father and accused murderer Ayden Bradshaw has indicated he plans to make a bail application.

“They’ve requested a spreadsheet which breaks down anticipated hours of preparation,” Mr McLennan said, adding he expected to have that prepared and sent this week.

The court heard if the matter remained a trial the earliest it could be heard in Mackay Supreme Court was March 2023, however, an expert could take up to three months.

Crown prosecutor Joshua Phillips said he anticipated the trial could be finalised within two weeks, however, that time frame could blow out if Mr McLennan “went into evidence”.

Matters have been adjourned to January 31 for mention.
