Mother and father, prisoners. They are accused of beating their two-month-old baby, who was on the verge of death / EL DIA
The beating that they would have given their two-month-old baby, according to the Justice, which has just arrested them accused of attempted murder aggravated by the bond and treachery, put two young people on the lips of all the people of La Plata. Also on the portals of the main media in the country, which echoed this terrible story, published exclusively by EL DIA in its previous edition.
After being arrested in Villa Elvira last Tuesday, the mother and father of the child, aged 25 and 30 respectively, were taken yesterday to the Palace of Justice on 7 between 56 and 57, where the investigation hearing was scheduled before the prosecutor Marcelo Romero, who is in charge of the investigation.
However, an issue arose that postponed one of the statements.
As they showed conflicting interests in the interview with the official defender Claudio Ritter, that is, they would have accused each other, the head of UFI 6 in our city only managed to ask the woman if she intended to use her right to defense and answer questions regarding the fact that he has deprived her of liberty.
Upon hearing a negative response, immediately afterwards, as Ritter excused himself from assisting the other detainee in view of the situation raised, the second inquiry was postponed until today, when the man has the assistance of another legal, public or registration representative.
The couple lived in an apartment they rented in Ringuelet, not far from the Regional Fruit and Vegetable Market.
From that place, according to a source linked to the case, which would be the scene where the savage aggression occurred, the young people were thrown out due to their constant fights, always shouting and with noises of alleged background blows.
“They were here for a while and they had to leave. The neighbors spoke with the owner and arranged an exit,” said the consulted spokesman.
For this, between that abrupt departure and the capture, which took place in the area of 7th and 85th streets, the baby arrived at the Sor María Ludovica Children’s Hospital with serious injuries.
In these circumstances, since the explanations they provided about the origin of the injuries, changing and contradictory, did not close anywhere, from the assistance center the Police was notified, who contacted the prosecutor’s office on duty, in charge of Romero, who motorized the cause thus.
Today the four-month-old baby is still hospitalized and with a favorable evolution.
A true miracle if you review the injuries that the doctors discovered: “Retinal hemorrhage; head injuries; posterior interhemispheric subdural hematoma; subarachnoid hemorrhages; multiple bone fractures, such as biparietal, left humerus, costal arches 4, 5,6 and ipsilateral hemithorax fractures”.
According to an informant, once he recovers, through the intervention of a Family Court, he would be granted shelter for his accommodation in an institution such as the former Casa Cuna, now Hospital Noel Sbarra, or some other of these characteristics.
It is believed that the parents hit his head against the wall, punched him and shook him by the armpits.
“The parents exercised such violent acts towards their baby knowing that there was a certain and concrete possibility of causing his death, assuming said risk and showing absolute indifference towards it, since said result did not materialize for reasons beyond their control,” he said. Romero in the arrest request, which was granted by the guarantee judge, Marcela Garmendia.
Regarding the imputed legal classification, Romero argued that “I understand that the actions of the parents have been carried out with eventual intent, by virtue of the fact that they have carried out acts of abuse and violence on repeated occasions and during the life of the victim , not in a unique or isolated way, but rather denotes a pattern of their behavior, developed in different situations with their child. Both put their baby at risk, knowing her defensive inability due to her young age, which the defendants also used to facilitate her actions, turning it into an extremely abusive action.
A fact that did not go unnoticed is that the young woman is pregnant again.
Precisely, in social networks, apart from the risqué comments about the defendants, the concern for the future of that being in a state of gestation was reflected.
