Corrigan allegedly returned Ronan with head and internal injuries from which he would not survive.
Corrigan was arrested by major crime detectives on Tuesday following an investigation at the Glenelg North unit complex, where he had been babysitting Ronan early last month.
It is alleged that shortly after returning the toddler to his Ottoway home, his father found him unconscious and rushed him to the Women's and Children's Hospital.
