The suspects of killing their son, a 23-day-old baby, with 24 stab wounds, in Patos, in the Sertão da Paraíba, were transferred to João Pessoa, this Friday (16). The information was confirmed by the Penitentiary Administration Secretariat (Seap).

The man was taken to the Doctor Romeu Gonçalves de Abrantes Maximum Security Penitentiary, popularly known as PB1. The woman was transferred to the Júlia Maranhão Penitentiary. Both are in isolation.

The newborn was buried this Friday (15), in Malta, also in Sertão.

The case occurred on Wednesday (14), and the two were arrested in the act, but their arrests were converted into preventive arrests. Both may face charges of qualified homicide and omission.

The 23-day-old baby, found dead on Wednesday (14), suffered 24 stab wounds, according to forensics. According to the expert from the city's Forensic Medicine and Dentistry Center (Numol), Dionísio Filho, the child did not die immediately after the blows and was in agony before dying.

The parents, both 19 years old, are suspected of the crime, were arrested and their identities were not released.

According to the expert, 13 injuries affected the back of the body, including the back and arms, while another 11 were recorded in the front, abdomen, face and chest. One of the stab wounds pierced the baby's heart.

According to the corporation, after being initially detained and interviewed in testimony, both presented conflicting versions of what had happened and attributed the commission of the crime to each other. The father and mother were also charged with the crime of omission.

Despite the classification of the crimes, investigations continue to determine their involvement in the case. According to delegate Gilson Duarte to g1, two hypotheses are investigated: the first, whether the woman participated alone in the crime; and the second, whether the man participated jointly in the crime.

Among the inconsistencies in the statements, according to the police chief, is a version presented by the woman, who said she had filmed the incident, however, when investigating the device, the police did not find any video related to the crime. The cell phone was seized and will undergo forensic examination.

The house where a 23-day-old baby was stabbed to death, in Patos, was broken into by neighbors in the early hours of this Thursday (15). Objects that were in the residence, including a mattress and a bed, were removed and burned in an area close to the property.

According to the Military Police, teams had carried out patrols in the region to prevent acts of vandalism against the house. The invasion took place during the early hours of the morning, during a break between vehicle passes.

The Civil Police are seeking information that could help identify those responsible for the invasion, looting and burning of belongings. If identified, those involved may be held liable for damage caused to the residence.

The Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) was called by the Military Police and, upon arriving at the scene, found the baby on a bed, with no signs of life. According to the Samu doctor, the child had several stab wounds, mainly in the abdominal region, as well as injuries to other parts of the body.

Gilson Duarte also reported that the baby's father and mother had been separated for some time, but were together in the same residence on the day of the crime. According to the Civil Police, the woman had gone to Patos to remove some furniture from the house.
