No sign of abuse on injured baby

A second forensic examination on Monday on a baby with a skull fracture showed no signs of abuse, the state pathologist Angeliki Papetta found.

According to the results of the examination, the 13-day-old baby girl did not show signs of abuse despite suffering a haematoma. She is being cared for at Makarios hospital in Nicosia, and doctors have said her condition is stable.

On Sunday an initial forensic examination by Papetta on the baby on Saturday was unable to determine the cause of the injury.

The baby was taken by her parents to hospital in Limassol on Saturday from where she was transferred to the Makarios children’s hospital in Nicosia for specialised care.
