Minor Murder
The mother, of Venezuelan origin, was seen by neighbors with the 20-month-old inert child in her arms.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria accused of killing her 20-month-old baby, whom she could have drowned in the sea in San Cristóbal, a fishing neighborhood of the capital. The arrest occurred after neighbors alerted, around ten at night, that a woman was wandering around looking disoriented with a wet baby in her arms and showing symptoms of drowning.
When the National Police officers arrived at the scene, they tried to revive the girl and notified the emergency health services. The minor was transferred to the Insular Maternal and Child Hospital in the capital of Gran Canaria, where she died. The one in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has taken charge of the case, which is investigating the circumstances of what happened, and has decreed the secrecy of the summary, as confirmed by a spokesperson for the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands. The accused is waiting to be brought to justice.
National Police sources have confirmed that the woman is 30 years old and of Venezuelan origin. The agents found the mother with the baby near a nearby shopping center. The creature was in cardiorespiratory arrest, and resuscitation maneuvers were carried out until the emergency service of the Government of the Canary Islands arrived.
