Father from Schwäbisch Hall kills baby: 10 years in prison!

In a stuffing turn of events, the Heilbronn district court sentenced a man from Gambia to ten years in prison. The reason for the drastic measure: At the end of a party night, the case of a boy from Schwäbisch Hall that was only ten months old shook the entire region. The father, overwhelmed as a single parent, could no longer endure his child's screams and literally struck the strands. According to Image the little boy was shaken and his head was hit against a fridge.

This fatal result of the excessive demand ended according to Image in massive skull and brain injuries, which led to the child's death in the hospital a few days later. The baby's mother, who lives separately from the father, received an hour's right to visit every week and had previously informed the Child Protection Association about hematomas and scratches, which she had discovered in her child. But unfortunately this help came too late.

overshadow of lack of sleep and despair

The tragic incident occurred in the apartment of the then girlfriend of the 28-year-old father at the end of January while she was still sleeping. Both had celebrated until late at night. In court, the accused stated that he had acted in affect due to the lack of sleep.

The negotiation took place in the tranquil Heilbronn, but the waves of the scandal hit far beyond. The defendant had learned the language in Germany, graduated from secondary school and completed an apprenticeship, but with the role as a single father, the circumstances seemed to overwhelm him. Doctors in the process also revealed that the little boy already had older rib breaks, as was already noticeable when the mother visits.
