The Russian father, from Krasnodar region, faces up to eight years in jail and a fine for the “intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm”.
His one-month-old son died from “pneumonia and emaciation” after failing to feed him properly.
Lyutyi caused “intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm” to Cosmos by insisting the baby be nourished mainly on sunlight, the court in Sochi heard.
He took the baby away from his mother for a day at a time “dousing him with cold water to harden him”, reported Mash news outlet.
“The little body could not withstand the abuse: exhaustion developed and breathing problems appeared.
“But even in this condition, the child was not shown to doctors.”
