A father who brutally murdered his 20-month-old daughter has been revealed.
Person A, who is charged with child abuse, murder and corpse abandonment, went to the court to interrogate the suspect before arrest.
[Mr./Suspect A: (Do you admit the charges? Do you have anything to say to the child who died? Why did you put the child in the icebox?) … … .] The
court issued an arrest warrant for Mr. A, who escaped after killing his daughter.
A is said to have admitted to some of the charges of assaulting and killing a child during a police investigation.
It is known that Mr. A stated that he was stressed due to the hardship of his life, and that the child did not sleep and cried continuously and was annoyed and assaulted.
The mother who was arrested first said that Mr. A often beat the child.
On the day of the crime on the 15th of last month, Mr. A, while drinking, covered the child with a blanket and brutally assaulted him dozens of times with his fists and feet.
The National Institute of Scientific Investigation gave the first opinion that there is a possibility that he may have died due to a severe assault, such as a broken leg and body damage.
There were also suspicions that Mr. A sexually assaulted his deceased daughter, but the police said that the body was so decomposed that it could not be confirmed so far.
The police said they are also considering genetic analysis and lie detection investigations, and said that they would investigate further and reveal the facts of the allegations raised against the mother.
