Dad Given Life for Murdering Baby Son in Healthcare Center
A dad who killed his two-week-old infant child on a newborn ward has been jailed to a life term with a minimum term of 20 years.
Catastrophic Wounds Suffered
The court heard the infant sustained severe injuries, comprising a fractured head, broken spinal column, broken jaw and fractured limbs.
Healthcare specialists described the wounds as "akin to a drop from a tall structure".
Legal Proceedings
The defendant had disputed harming the child but was determined responsible of murder by the jury.
"The defendant were accountable for the child's safety and protection. There was an extreme abandonment of obligation in that case," declared the magistrate.
Family Impact
The infant's mom was exonerated of a reduced accusation of allowing the demise of a infant.
In an impact statement, the grandfather characterized the child as "simply perfect" and expressed intense sorrow.
- The family will not witness his very first attempt
- They will not witness his first strides
- The baby never even have a chance to show his very first expression
Investigation and Fallout
Investigators characterized the case as one of the "highly traumatic" they had before dealt with.
A representative for the medical facility confirmed a infant safeguarding examination into the death would be released subsequently.
