Father Arrested in Connection with Shaken Baby Syndrome Case

A three-month-old baby is in critical condition at Makarios Hospital diagnosed with Shaken Baby Syndrome. The baby's father has been arrested and charged with interfering with a judicial process, as well as child abuse. The case began when the baby was taken to the hospital in serious condition. After medical examinations, it was diagnosed that the baby had sustained injuries consistent with Shaken Baby Syndrome, which is caused by violent shaking.
