What really happened during the night from Saturday to Sunday in Berloz? A child, named Ethan, three and a half years old, was discovered, according to initial information, “slaughtered” in his room. The autopsy, which took place this Monday noon, gives its first conclusions
This Monday afternoon, the prosecution communicated on this infanticide: “The autopsy took place this afternoon and the medical examiner concluded that he died of suffocation. He actually noted two wounds on the child’s face, but non-lethal wounds“.
Catherine Collignon, first prosecutor of the King of Liège, also reveals that the investigating judge decided “to charge with murder and place the mother under warrant“, believing that there are “serious indications of guilt“. “To issue this warrant, she decided to release the father, considering that at this stage, however, there are no serious indications of guilt against him.“.
Overheard, the mother confirms the argument, “but she declares that she had gone to sleep and that she does not remember anything“, explains Catherine Collignon, “When she got up, she saw the lifeless body of her child. She declares having experienced a nightmare, dark thoughts and having left home“.
Investigative work still needs to be carried out. “This tragedy took place a few hours ago and the investigation will make it possible to determine exactly the responsibilities of each person.“.
