Suspicion of murder: Parents of the starved three-year-old continue in custody!

Ebbs, Tirol, Österreich - The situation around the tragic case of the three -year -old boy from Ebbs in the Tyrolean district of Kufstein is still staggering. The pre -trial detention for the child's parents was extended after they are faced with suspicion of the murder. The boy was found lifeless in his family's apartment on Whit Monday of the previous year. A preliminary autopsy result showed that the cause of death was massive malnutrition. The public prosecutor accuses the parents of having not sufficiently provided their child over several weeks, which ultimately led to his agonizing death. According to Kosmo, the exact circumstances of death are currently the subject of the investigation.

Both parents, 25 and 26 years old, have been in custody since the dead child was discovered. Only a few days ago they were temporarily taken into custody, and the Innsbruck Regional Court decided to extend imprisonment until mid -July due to an urgent suspicion of the murder. So far, the father has made use of his right to refuse to testify, while the mother stated that her son was sick in the weeks before his death and showed no appetite. A visit to the doctor was planned. During the search of the apartment, numerous traces were secured and evaluated. Investigators also analyze the communication and surfing behavior of the suspects in order to find objective evidence. The Krone reports that the public prosecutor had to apply for custody for suspected murder, and that the court will check again in two weeks whether the reasons for detention would continue.

Interestingly, the family was previously unobtrusive. The three siblings of the deceased, aged 1, 3 and 6, were taken into care and showed no deficiency symptoms. This raises questions of how such extreme relationship in the care of the three -year -old boy could occur. Federal Chamber of Procedure emphasizes that medical specialists are often confronted with cases of abuse and neglect. Negotiation can occur in various medical areas, and unfortunately it is not uncommon for endangered children and adolescents to be treated in general medicine or in departments such as pediatrics and child psychiatry.

The psychiatric report, which is also created in this case, could play a crucial role in the further course of the investigations. It remains to be seen which knowledge is obtained and whether they will have an impact on the accumulation of the indictment due to suspicion of murder.

The tragedy of the little boy not only raises questions about the responsibility of the parents, but also on the role of society and the authorities. How could it get so far that a child experiences in such an environment, which means malnutrition? These and many other questions will certainly be discussed intensively by experts and in society.
