Father condemned: Baby killed after party night in Schwäbisch Hall!

In Schwäbisch Hall there was a tragedy that shook the whole country. A 28-year-old father, originally from Gambia, was sentenced to a ten-year sentence after taking his ten-month-old baby. What started as a desperate reaction to the whispering little one ended in a cruel crime. The young man who had celebrated the night before lost control in the morning when his child didn't let him sleep. He shook the boy through and hit his head against the fridge in the affect. Bild newspaper reported that the baby was admitted to the hospital with serious injuries and succumbed to his injuries a few days later.

In the courtroom, the father's dramatic history was unveiled, which seemed overwhelmed as a single parent. Although the child's mother only had a visit to 60 minutes once a week, she appeared as a co -plaintiff in the trial. In court, the accused argued that he had taken care of the child, but the judge did not accept these explanations - even if the father acted out of one affect, he accepted the child's death. He was guilty of homicide and must now pay a financial compensation of 15,000 euros to the mother.

A life full of challenges

The father, which was so hard -scored, had achieved a lot since his arrival in Germany in 2015: he learned the language, completed his secondary school qualification and successfully completed vocational training. But life as a single father presented him with insurmountable hurdles. The pressure and responsibility finally led to this catastrophic event.

It is particularly tragic that, according to the investigation, there were signs of violence on the baby before the night of death. The "Südwest Presse" reported that the child's mother repeatedly noticed hematomas and scratches on the little boy during her visiting times. She turned to the Child Protection Association, but the youth welfare office was not informed. Doctors also confirmed in retrospect that the child already had older ribs.

Investigations are rush -ending

Investigators found that the accused was violent not only to the baby, but also to the seven -year -old son of his new girlfriend. The latter told the authorities that the father had already hit the baby with a milk bottle. The crime himself took place in the girlfriend's apartment, while she was unsuspecting in bed because she had celebrated the night before with the later perpetrator. As The southwest press reported, this was not the first sign that pointed out the intolerable conditions in the apartment.

This shocking story is a sobering indication of how important support and supervision in childcare can be. The failure of the institutions that could have intervene in good time leaves questions unanswered. The consequences of this tragic incident will sustainably sustainably sustainably - both for the family and for the community.
