Thessaloniki: 47-day-old dead baby – what happened?

It is said that the 47-day-old baby fell out of her father’s arms at the house where they lived.

A 47-day-old infant – who reportedly slipped from her father’s arms – was seriously injured and recovered hours later in hospital, causing unspeakable tragedy in Thessaloniki.

For this tragic incident, police officers of the Security Directorate of Thessaloniki filed a case of manslaughter against the 24-year-old father.

What did the father argue first?

According to the police, around noon on Saturday, the boy was shifted to an on-call hospital in the city in a critical condition, where he passed away shortly.

The 24-year-old father, who is of Bulgarian descent, called EMS after the child complained of difficulty breathing. However, a subsequent forensic examination revealed the child had brain injuries, ecchymoses and fractures, according to the ELAS statement.

Following this development, police officials from the Crimes Against Life Department interrogated the father, who finally confessed that the child had fallen from his arms.

A case of murder was registered against the father.
