Wittenberg (dpa/sa) – After the death of a 15-month-old toddler in Wittenberg, arrest warrants were issued against the 26-year-old father and the 21-year-old mother. Both are suspected of manslaughter, as the Dessau-Roßlau public prosecutor announced on Wednesday. The arrest warrant against the mother was suspended subject to conditions.
The deceased girl was taken to the hospital in Wittenberg at the end of January with shortness of breath. After being transferred to a clinic in Halle by rescue helicopter, the child died there a few hours later. The police then initiated a death investigation. As a result, forensic experts determined blunt force trauma to the child’s head, resulting in the child’s death.
