RI maid charged with baby murder
HONG KONG (DPA): A 28-year-old Indonesian domestic helper appeared before a Hong Kong court on Wednesday, charged with shaking a five-month-old baby boy to death.
The baby, who was in her care, was certified as dead on Tuesday evening after being admitted to hospital earlier that day suffering from convulsions.
A police statement said a postmortem revealed he died from acute subdural hemorrhaging, or bleeding in the brain, which medical experts believed was caused by violent shaking.
The woman was arrested and charged with manslaughter after an investigation revealed she had been alone with the baby that day.
