A two-month-old baby was found dead this morning on the roof of it’s home in Río Cuarto, Córdoba province. The mother, a 19-year-old teenager, was arrested after she had first reported her baby kidnapped. First reports indicated the infant could have died of suffocation.
Yesterday afternoon, the victim’s mother reported to Villa Dálcar local police that her baby had been kidnapped. Police forces promptly deployed dozens of officers to work on the case. A frenetic search started showing no positive results.
Due to the circumstances, police authorities went over the mother’s story, who then started to contradict her own words; dropping her original story. Thus, the local police department declared her the main suspect in the crime.
Horror invaded the quiet town of Villa Dalciar after officers found the baby’s body on the roof of her mother’s house.
Chief Policeman Javier Di Santo, told reporters that the body had “a large piece of clothing wrapped around it’s neck, hence making us believe the victim was suffocated until death. Anyway, forensic experts will run the autopsy in order to obtain the official cause of death.”
Likewise, District’s Chief Police Carlos Galbucera, said that the baby’s parents “belong to a well constituted family which includes another 18-month-infant”.
To end, Galbucera remarked that the father was not arrested evidence indicated that the man, a carpenter, was working at the time the baby was killed.
