CALGARY- A judge is expected to decide today whether a Calgary man is guilty of killing his young grandson.

Allan Perdomo Lopez is charged with manslaughter in the 2015 death of five-year-old Emilio Perdomo.

The trial heard that Emilio died of a blunt-force brain injury five months after he came to Canada from Mexico for a better life.

The Crown played a police recording from the family minivan of the accused praying in Spanish.
