The female police arrived at the scene after her colleague had already determined that the little girl was dead. When she arrived, she did not know more about the alarm than it was a fall accident.

But the finding of the dead body changed the conditions and she and her colleague instead had to take the measures that apply when investigating murders. Her job was to take her mother out to the police car, separated from her father.

"Sad and upset"

The police witness describes the mother's first testimony in the car. It partly gives a different picture to the one that emerged when she was heard in court on Tuesday where she had vague memories and stated that she had been told too late that her daughter was dead.

"She is very sad and upset and says:" She fell and hit her head two days ago. We tried to revive her but her eyes were rolling and she was bleeding from her mouth, ”police say on the third day of trial.

The police also say that she adds the calm to the little child in her mother's arms:

“The little child was calm all the time, even in the car. Very quiet, we sat there for quite some time and I thought what a nice kid ”.

The testimony also reveals how the police perceived their parents at the intervention, they both had absent eyes and looked worn.

Both in the bathroom

In the afternoon, a reconstruction video was also played in court. In the video, the murder-suspected mother was seen reproducing how the accident should have happened. According to the reconstruction, both the mother and the father were in the bathroom.

The father took care of Esmeralda and the mother bathed the little brother. But in the reconstruction video, the mother had difficulty remembering if she was in the bathroom when the alleged accident happened.
