A 32-year-old man suspected of attempting to kill his two-week-old baby has died while in custody at a prison in Oulu, Finland. The police announced that the case will not be treated as a crime, but as a matter for death investigation. Initially, the police had been investigating the incident as a serious assault after the father allegedly threw the infant onto a concrete floor in the stairwell, causing severe injuries that required hospitalization for the baby.

Investigations later revealed that the violent crime was more accurately classified as attempted murder, as the father was also suspected of assaulting the baby's mother, who sustained less severe injuries. The man was jailed on Monday and was reported to have shared his perspective on the events with the police before his death on Tuesday. Oulu police, while recognizing the man's death, will continue their investigation into the suspected crimes.

This incident raises significant concerns about domestic violence and the welfare of children in Finland, prompting discussions within the community about support systems for at-risk families. As the police continue their inquiries, the implications of this case could lead to more extensive discussions and potential policy reviews regarding child protection laws and the handling of similar cases in the future.
