The condition of a three-month-old baby hospitalized in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Makarios Hospital remains critical. The infant was intubated after a brain hematoma was detected, leading to immediate surgery. Authorities are investigating the case as possible abuse, as the findings of radiological examinations raise serious concerns. As part of the investigation, a 28-year-old man was arrested and charged with causing grievous bodily harm, endangering a child, child abuse, and other negligent acts that may have caused bodily harm. The suspect denies any involvement in the incident, however, the court, considering the police evidence, imposed a four-day detention order. A significant element of the investigation is the fact that the baby's mother was absent, leaving the 28-year-old as the sole caregiver. The case has caused widespread public concern, and authorities are conducting a thorough investigation to determine the exact circumstances that led to the baby's injury. The fight for the little one's life continues, while answers are sought as to what happened.
