In Oulu, Finland, a 32-year-old musician is under investigation for allegedly attempting to kill his two-week-old baby. The police are seeking to detain him on charges of attempted murder after examining the gravity of the situation. Initially, the case was being investigated as assault, but new information led to the reclassification of the crime to attempted murder against the infant.
The man is also suspected of having assaulted his partner during the incident. Police spokesperson Tero Väyrynen indicated that the suspect has already been interrogated, and while he has shared his account of what transpired, specific details were not disclosed to the media. The police are still working to clarify the sequence of events surrounding this disturbing case.
The Oulu District Court is set to determine whether there are sufficient grounds for detaining the man on these serious charges.
