A Court in Arrecife has ordered the admission to preventive detention for the father accused of reckless homicide for the death of his twenty-day-old baby in Tinajo last April after suffering cardiorespiratory arrest.
This decision comes after the number 3 court of the Instruction Section of the Arrecife Court of First Instance ordered their provisional release last Wednesday May 6.
As you will recall, a Court of Arrecife is investigating the minor's father for the alleged commission of a crime of negligent homicide and another against road safety, as reported by Canarias 7.
According to what La Voz has been able to learn, the father has a record for robbery with violence and force and also police records for gender violence. Approximately one year ago, he even went to trial, which was opened ex officio due to police action, accused of a gender violence offense against the baby's mother, although the case did not proceed then because his partner did not testify against him.
The 20-day-old baby suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest on April 12. Initially, the minor's parents went to the Tinajo Health Center, but it was closed, so they then went to the Local Police station, where the officers began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
After ten minutes, an ambulance from the Canary Islands Emergency Service arrived at the scene and the paramedics managed to resuscitate the baby, after another twenty minutes of performing cardiac massage. The minor was urgently transferred to the Hospital José Molina Orosa and from there airlifted to the Hospital Materno Infantil of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where he ended up dying a few days later.
When taking the parents' statements, investigators began to suspect the father, who allegedly changed his story, initially arguing that the baby had choked and then that he had suffered a traffic accident with the child, even though he did not have a license. According to Canarias 7, the minor's autopsy determined that the baby died from a traumatic brain injury.
