The baby was admitted to hospital already dead on arrival at the province
hospital “Sant Antoni Abad” of Vilanova i la Geltrú where the doctors
confirmed he showed clear evidence of old child-battering.
Waiting for the results of the autopsy, five persons of the familiar circle
have been arrested, including the mother of the baby, an 18-year-old woman.
The very relatives of the baby, all of them Spanish, took the baby to hospital
around 05:00 a.m. together to police agents of the Vilanova town.
Apparently it was the mother of the baby who left him in the care of some
relatives because she “had to go to a party with some friends”.
