A sad discovery in Paris. Monday evening, the lifeless body of an 8-month-old infant was found on the public highway of an avenue in the 15th arrondissement of the French capital, according to information collected by Europe 1. For the moment, the circumstances of his death are not known. The judicial police were contacted and a representative of the Paris prosecutor’s office went to the site.
The nanny’s testimony inconsistent?
According to initial information, this child, as well as his 3-year-old brother, were looked after by a nanny. The events took place on the way back from school. After picking up the half-brother of the other two children, aged 8, the nanny went to a park before settling in a cafe. And, according to the nanny’s testimony, the tragedy happened on the way home. During this trip, the 8-year-old boy was walking next to the stroller where the two young children were. It would then be on this journey, still according to the nanny’s words, that the 3-year-old brother would have pulled on the woolen hat of his 8-month-old little sister, sitting in front.
It was then that the nanny decided to call for help. A version which has not been corroborated at this stage by the medical profession. An autopsy must be carried out in the coming hours to compare the nanny’s statements.
