Thriller with the death of an infant in Kos, who was taken unconscious to the island’s hospital on Saturday afternoon (20/04/2024).
All the doctors at the Kos hospital were immediately mobilized, but they did not succeed in bringing the infant back to life and on Saturday night (20/04/2024) he was pronounced dead.
It all happened in less than an hour. At a quarter to eight the 20-year-old mother found her baby unconscious. Half an hour later he called EKAV and while in the meantime he was trying with the help of neighbors to bring it back. The ambulance arrived at 8:25 and seven minutes later, the infant was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead at a quarter past nine.
“When the emergency doctor came, she was shouting for someone to bring a defibrillator. The mom is seven months pregnant, what she was saying is that she had fed the baby potato chips and put her to bed and she didn’t know exactly what happened,” said an eyewitness.
Death by suffocation
Doctors at the hospital found undigested food in his respiratory system, as well as abrasions and generalized ecchymosis in various parts of his body. They asked for further examination to determine if she had been sexually abused.
The medical examiner who examined it in Rhodes, however, found no traces of sexual abuse, ruled that death came from suffocation due to undigested food and that the abrasions probably came from earlier blows.
His 2-year-old brother will also be examined for signs of abuse
The parents, who were arrested, said the infant’s injuries were the result of either an accident or beatings by her 2-year-old brother, who will also be examined by the medical examiner for signs of abuse.
What has troubled the authorities is the fact that the father of the infant has been accused and arrested in the past for pornography. For this reason, the authorities searched the father’s cell phone and computer.
According to Mega’s report, the investigation so far has shown that traces of child pornography searches have been found on his mobile phone.
“We saw her with bruises”
Neighbors of the couple, speaking to MEGA, report that they had seen the 20-year-old mother beaten several times, with the testimonies of the couple’s fights being numerous.
“Her husband, the husband, was abusing her. Sometimes we had seen her in the neighborhood with some bruises herself, marks which she did not justify”, said an eyewitness.
“They had fights, I had seen the girl beaten several times. Now, whether he hit her or not, I don’t know. I didn’t see them together all the time. I saw more of the girl,” said a neighbor of the couple.
The father, 21 years old and the mother of the unfortunate infant are charged with exposure of a minor resulting in death and on Monday (22/04/2024) they will cross the threshold of the prosecutor.
