Father suspected of attempting to murder his baby threatened to kill a police officer
A 32-year-old father, who has been accused of attempting to kill his infant, also threatened to kill a police officer during his arrest.
A man from Oulu, Finland, who is suspected of having thrown his infant into concrete, made threatening remarks towards a police officer during his arrest. On a Saturday morning in October 2021, when police attempted to take him into custody, the father refused to comply and instead stated that he would kill a police officer before getting into the police vehicle. Authorities responded by using OC spray to subdue him, and he faced a fine of €350 for obstructing a public official.
The background of the 32-year-old man reveals a worrying pattern of threats; he had previously threatened to stab a teacher, although these threats never progressed to formal charges. Despite having minimal criminal history, this incident marks a significant escalation, especially considering a charge of rape was brought against him in February 2024, for actions taken the previous autumn, indicating a troubling trajectory in his behavior and potential for violence.
The case has raised serious concerns about the safety of his children and the broader implications for law enforcement when dealing with suspects exhibiting such violent tendencies. Additionally, the man's recent death on June 24 further complicates the legal proceedings surrounding these allegations, leaving many questions unanswered about the potential outcomes and the wellbeing of his family.
