As Izvestia writes, the regional prosecutor's office is conducting an investigation into this fact.
“Since the child was crying for a long time, the child’s father covered him with a blanket, after which the child stopped crying,” the department said in a statement.
It is noted that when the mother came to check on the child, he was dead.
The head of the press service of the Sverdlovsk police, Valery Gorelykh, told URA.RU that the girl’s parents noticed that she had suffocated in her crib only five to ten hours after her death.
“The girl’s body was in a crib, lying on her stomach.
Detectives and investigators did not find any external signs of violent death.
The age of death was five to ten hours at the time of discovery,” he said.
According to him, the child’s mother is a 26-year-old local store clerk, and the father is a 36-year-old handyman.
He had previously been prosecuted for intentionally causing grievous bodily harm.
