Musician, 32, suspected of attempting to kill his infant son, has died

A 32-year-old musician suspected of attempting to kill his two-week-old son has died in a Finnish prison, with authorities stating that there is no indication of foul play in his death.

A 32-year-old musician who had been charged with attempted murder of his two-week-old son was found dead in Oulu prison on Tuesday. Finnish police reported that there is no evidence of criminal activity linked to his death, and an investigation into the cause has been initiated. The musician was taken into custody on Monday following allegations of violently assaulting both his son and the child's mother.

The case came to light last Friday when emergency services received a call alleging that the man had brutally assaulted his partner and their newborn son. It was reported that he allegedly threw the infant onto the concrete floor of their apartment building’s stairwell, leading to severe injuries for the child. Following this disturbing incident, the musician was remanded in custody at Oulu prison, where he faced serious charges.

Prior to this incident, there had been no criminal charges against the man in the last decade according to Ilta-Sanomat. The shocking allegations of attempted murder and domestic violence have raised concerns in the community, especially regarding the severe implications of such violence against vulnerable individuals. The authorities now focus on determining the circumstances surrounding the musician's sudden death while the investigation into the earlier allegations is set to continue.
