YATSUSHIRO, Kumamoto -- A man has been arrested for fatally hurling his 2-month-old son onto the floor, police said.

Shingo Hayano, 22, a temporary worker, stands accused of inflicting bodily injury resulting in death.

He admitted to the allegations during questioning. "I was irritated with his crying," he was quoted telling investigators.

Investigators are grilling him over allegations that he had regularly abused his son Yuto since late April. His wife was reportedly unaware that he abused the victim.

Hayano hurled Yuto onto the floor at their home in Yatsushiro at around 9:10 p.m. on May 3, local police said. Hayano took him to a local hospital after he fell unconscious. Two hours later, Yuto was pronounced dead.

A doctor who treated the victim suspected that he had been abused, and alerted police.
