The Limassol CID investigators heard the 37-year-old father on Saturday morning confess that on Wednesday, March 2, when he returned home tired from work, because his infant was crying incessantly he shook him loudly to make him stop.
From that moment until he was taken unconscious to Limassol Hospital at dawn on March 5, the unfortunate infant did not cry again, according to what the 37-year-old man of Bulgarian origin said during interrogation.
As is known, the arrest of the 37-year-old man and the 22-year-old mother of the infant was made possible after the forensic examination, which lasted for two days and was carried out on the body of the unfortunate infant by forensic experts Angeliki Papetta and Orthodox Orthodox.
It is recalled that during the forensic examination of the body of the just 2-month-old baby girl, it was found that her death was caused by malicious traumatic craniocerebral injury from an act, or acts involving violent shaking of the infant, with or without impact on a blunt surface. Known as Shaken Impact Syndrome.

The mother says she doesn't know...
According to the Cyprus Times, after the 37-year-old man's admission, the 22-year-old mother of the infant was questioned again, who expressed ignorance about her husband's allegations.
According to our information, the 22-year-old mother claimed that she did not know what had happened as she was in the kitchen at the time.
The next steps of the investigators
The police do not rule out, as part of the investigations, to conduct a re-enactment at the scene, while the taking of statements from the family and friends of the suspects continues. Also under investigation are reports that friction between the couple was frequent. As reported in previous publications, the family was being monitored by Social Welfare Services for an incident of violence reported in January 2021.
As reported in a previous publication, their other child, a 3-year-old boy, is in the care of relatives and under the supervision of the relevant government agencies. From the very first moment, investigators turned their attention to the 3-year-old investigating the possibility that he too may have been a victim of abuse.
It is recalled that the parents of the unfortunate infant have been in custody since Thursday with a court order for manslaughter.
