Helsinki the trial for the suspected baby’s murder will begin on Tuesday in the district court. A woman in her forties is accused of murdering her eight-month-old child in Vuosaari, Helsinki, in May-June.
The police said earlier that the baby is suspected to have died of malnutrition and dehydration. According to the police, the woman had not given any clear motive or reason for the act during the preliminary investigation.
The baby was found dead in the apartment where the woman and the baby lived. The suspected crime came to the attention of the police when the woman called the emergency center herself. According to the police, the last sighting of the baby by outsiders was in May, when the baby still seemed healthy.
Neighbors had previously heard the baby crying and had called the emergency center. Callers from the emergency center had been instructed to go and ask how the child is doing.
“This mother was then contacted for that, but she had said that everything was fine,” said the head of the investigation Tuomas Lindholm for STT in September.
According to Lindholm, a neighbor had also come to offer the woman help at her door at the end of May.
“Furthermore, the suspect’s friend had visited his door at the beginning of June, but the suspect did not let him into the apartment,” Lindholm said.
