An Australian father has been accused of murder for reportedly neglecting to seek medical assistance after a snake bit the youngster.

Police blame Kerrod for dismissing the youngster’s words. He was accused on Tuesday, November 8, following a 12-month-long police “extensive” probe into the boy’s death known as Operation Uniform Weft.
Following his passing, Tristian’s family and loved ones paid homage and referred to him as a “little hero.” The universe has acquired a new Angel.

A national evaluation of documented snake envenoming deaths has not been conducted in over 20 years. The National Coronial Information System tracked deaths from January 2000 through December 2016. Cases classified as snake-related were retrieved using data from coronial findings, autopsies, and police records. Death from snake bites is uncommon in Australia and has been stable for more than 20 years. A nationally coordinated effort to further assess the national picture of envenoming in Australia can influence education and resource requirements within state and local contexts.
