Parents arrested in Patras – four-month-old infant in critical condition with injuries to feet
The parents of a four-month-old infant were arrested yesterday evening in Patras on a charge of attempted murder with possible intent, according to Dikastiko.gr. The couple live in a settlement and will be brought before the prosecutor during the day.
The infant was found intubated, in a state of malnutrition, and bore injuries to its feet that are believed to have been caused by bites from rodents. It was initially transferred to Karamandeio Children's Hospital and subsequently to the hospital in Rio.
According to information, the child has now been extubated and its state of health is showing improvement. Today it will be examined by dermatologists in order to establish whether the injuries to its feet are indeed due to rodent bites.
The parents are facing a charge of attempted murder with possible intent and will be presented before the competent prosecutor during the course of the day.
