Parents Charged in Death of 3-Month-Old in Córdoba as Prosecutor Cites Evidence

Prosecutors say the case now turns on evidence gathered, with autopsy results pending.

Overview

  • The infant from Camilo Aldao arrived with severe head trauma and convulsions, was transferred to the Hospital de Niños de Córdoba, and was declared brain-dead before life support was withdrawn on Monday.
  • The mother, 18, and father, 24, were detained and formally accused of homicide aggravated by the parental link.
  • Prosecutor Fernando Epelde said documentary and testimonial evidence supports suspicion that the parents may have intervened in causing the injuries.
  • An autopsy was performed in Córdoba, and authorities are awaiting the official report to determine the origin of the head injuries and advance the case.
  • Officials reported no prior medical warnings or recorded abuse involving the baby, and the father’s record reflects only property-related offenses.
