Death tragedy of a three-year-old child in Ebbs in the Tyrolean district of Kufstein. The boy was found dead in his parents’ apartment on Monday. An autopsy showed that he was severely malnourished. An investigation was opened against the parents on suspicion of murder.
On Whit Monday, shortly before 10.30 am, a deceased three-year-old child was reported to the police in the Kufstein district. “When the police patrol arrived at the home address, in addition to the child’s parents, the rescuers were already on site and could only determine the boy’s death,” the director reported on Wednesday.
As the “Krone” learned, the tragedy occurred in the community of Ebbs.
Autopsy of the child’s body
An autopsy was performed on the child’s body on Tuesday at the medical examiner’s office in Innsbruck. “According to preliminary autopsy results, the child died due to severe malnutrition,” the researchers said.
Parents were arrested
The Public Prosecution opened an investigation on suspicion of murder against the parents (25 and 26 years old, both local residents) and ordered their arrest.
As Hansjörg Mayr, spokesperson for the Innsbruck Public Prosecutor’s Office, explained to the Crown, the parents were finally arrested on Wednesday afternoon. “Due to the psychological emergency, the two were initially still in residential treatment,” Mayr said.
The child died of hunger. It must be assumed that the parents “were inadequately nourished for a long period of time” and that they “accepted the death of the child,” Mayr explained.
The couple’s three other children (1, 3 and 6 years old) are under the care of child and youth care.
