IL's information: A musician from Oulu suspected of throwing a baby – Here’s what is known about him

A 32-year-old musician from Oulu is suspected of throwing his two-week-old baby onto a concrete floor, according to Iltalehti's reports.

Iltalehti reports that a 32-year-old musician from Oulu has been detained by police following allegations that he threw his two-week-old baby onto a concrete floor. The suspect is the father of the child, and he has previously shared images on social media during the pregnancy and of the newborn. His last update about fatherhood was reported to be just a few days prior to the incident.

The situation came to light when a neighbor called emergency services early on a Friday morning, prompting police to respond to the family’s apartment. Upon arrival, officers suspected the musician had assaulted his partner and thrown the baby into the concrete hallway. Both the seriously injured infant and the mother were transported to Oulu University Hospital for treatment, while the father was arrested.

Authorities are investigating the musician for serious bodily harm to both the baby and the mother. Notably, reports indicate that the musician has had no criminal history in the past decade. This shocking incident raises concerns about domestic violence and the safety of vulnerable family members, particularly infants, and may prompt further discussions on resources and support for families in distress in the community.
