Father Jailed Life Term for Fatally Injuring Newborn Son in Healthcare Center
An parent who fatally assaulted his 14-day-old baby son on a neonatal department has been given to life with a minimum term of twenty years.
Devastating Harm Suffered
The court learned the baby sustained severe injuries, including a broken skull, shattered neck, fractured jaw and fractured legs.
Clinical experts described the injuries as "comparable to a fall from a multi-storey building".
Trial Process
The defendant had disputed hurting the infant but was judged responsible of killing by the panel.
"You have been accountable for the child's safety and security. There was an extreme abandonment of duty in that situation," remarked the justice.
Household Impact
The infant's mother was acquitted of a reduced allegation of allowing the passing of a child.
In an impact account, the grandfather portrayed the baby as "simply beautiful" and expressed profound grief.
- The family will not experience his first movement
- We will miss his initial walking
- He never even have a opportunity to give his very first grin
Probe and Fallout
Law enforcement labeled the case as one among the "highly traumatic" they had previously dealt with.
A spokesperson for the hospital confirmed a child protection examination into the death would be issued in the future.
Warning: The story involves information that many may find upsetting.
