Jun 3, 2019 | 4:22 PM

A Calgary manslaughter trial has heard that a five-year-old boy was seen slowly shuffling with a bandage on his head shortly before he died.

Allan Perdomo Lopez, who is 59, is charged in the 2015 death of his grandson Eneas Emilio Perdomo, who went by Emilio.

Pablo Palomera testified that he sometimes saw Perdomo Lopez, his wife Carolina Perdomo and the boy at a weekly flea market.

The trial heard Palomera had a table where he sold retro video games and collectibles and got to know the family because they all speak Spanish.

Palomera says Perdomo Lopez had spoken about adopting the boy from Mexico and the child seemed quiet and afraid when Palomera first met the boy at the market.

Palomera says he called Child Protective Services when he saw the boy in the spring or summer of 2015 and he could barely walk.
