Man admits to injecting daughter with mercury. But he did not intend to kill the one-and-a-half-year-old girl.
The crime was directed against the child's mother, with whom he had a separation dispute. The girl's foot became infected and the child developed a rash all over her body. Both defendants knew that the poison was fatal and that death would only come after a long period of torment and pain, the public prosecutor's office sees the father as having low motives for murder.
