After being arrested at the Salzburg train station, the father of the child who died of a traumatic shock has been released. Poignant details of the baby’s ordeal.
Even before Elias died at the age of seven weeks, he had to endure pain. Apparently through his own mother. “I was angry. Elias started crying. So I punched him in the face and strangled him for six to seven seconds.” According to research by Krone, the 19-year-old would have said this during the interrogation. It would not have been the only incident: the baby was allegedly punched in the face weeks ago when he was lying quietly in bed. “I suddenly had a charm .”
Statements that indicate a psychological problem. Apparently, the murder suspect suffered from postpartum depression. Now she is imprisoned in Pucher Prison. The father, on the other hand, was released on Friday. Although both were only arrested on Thursday near the train station: “My client has rightly been released. It has nothing to do with the death of the child,” emphasizes Kurt Jelinek, the lawyer for the child’s father (25).
Although both parents were requested to be detained, the regional court only sent the 19-year-old to jail. In the father’s case, the court found only the crime of neglecting and torturing defenseless people. The public prosecutor can still file a complaint.
Crime scene: homeless shelter. A local inspection.
The tragic incident happened at a homeless shelter. In the Hübnergasse in the Riedenburg district of Salzburg. On Saturday around noon, paramedics and an emergency doctor tried to save Elias’s life – in vain: the baby was already blue, cold and stiff. Investigators said there were no visible injuries. The autopsy results three days later brought clarity and with it a tragic turn: a shocking trauma as the cause of death. The result: a search for the parents, including a police visit to the family’s last residence.
The rescue operation, the crowds, the police visit: the residents of the modern wooden building at number 8 experienced it all. But no one knows exactly what happened. “No one has told us anything yet. But everything happened there,” says one of the neighbors of the “Krone”. When asked further, people just shrug. Immediately afterwards, a Caritas counselor addresses the “Krone”. But he doesn’t want to say anything about the terrible act. But the caretaker assures one thing: he wants to talk to the residents and tell them what happened in the house where they live.
