Young woman jailed for killing her baby

The 20-year-old woman who beat her 5-months son will be jailed. She is pregnant again, the Investigation Committee confirmed. However, ‘there are no contra-indications and she can be jailed’, BELTA reports.

5-month-old boy Sasha was taken to the intensive care unit of Brest hospital on November 22. His drunk mother had beaten him at midnight and his father found the boy in a terrible condition when he came home from work in the morning. He called an ambulance. The boy had a cerebral injury, brain contusion, edema and haemorrhage of the brain. The baby died in hospital on November 27.

The boy’s mother was drunk. She started beating Sasha when he started crying at night and threw him onto the bed and sofa. Then the woman fell asleep. The police detained her. A criminal case for killing a helpless minor has been started against her.
