Kochi: Police will conduct the cremation of a one-and-a-half-month-old baby who was tragically killed at Elamakkara, as no one has come forward to claim the body.
The baby had suffered fatal injuries after being seriously hurt by the mother’s boyfriend at a lodge in Elamakara. The body is currently at the Kalamassery Medical College mortuary and will be cremated tomorrow or the day after.
The distressing incident was discovered when the baby’s mother, Aswathy and her boyfriend Shanif brought the unresponsive baby to a city hospital. The hospital staff noticed wounds on the baby’s body and informed the police due to suspicion.
Following further examination, severe skull injuries were found, leading to the detention of the couple by Elamakkara Police. During questioning, Shanif admitted to fatally hitting the baby’s head with his knee.
The shocking revelation that Shanif also bit the baby’s body to ensure its death shocked everyone who heard it. This terrible act was done to eliminate any obstacles the baby might have posed in their relationship.
