Dad strangles and kills 5-month-old son after court-ordered visitation (Paris, France)


Read this part again:

The father had taken the baby from the home of his mother on Friday afternoon after a family judge ordered her to grant her estranged partner access to his son.

This was an entirely preventable murder. Judges need to stop giving violent fathers like UNNAMED DAD access to infants on demand. All three of these baby killings involve custody issues where the baby was murdered when removed from the mother's care. Two directly involved the father, one a nutso girlfriend that the father allowed to have access to the child.

France shocked by third baby killing in three weeks

AFP Tuesday, Aug 21, 2012

PARIS - A man suspected of having strangled his five-month-old son was found dead Tuesday having apparently hanged himself in the wake of France's third infanticide in as many weeks, police said.

The man, whose name was not released, was found dead at Tarbes in the Pyrenees. He had been hospitalised following his arrest on suspicion of murder on Sunday evening but was not under police surveillance and was able to escape from the clinic 24 hours later.

"The first findings of the investigation indicate that the baby was strangled by his father," said prosecutor Francois Jardin, adding that the man had left a suicide note to that effect.

The father had taken the baby from the home of his mother on Friday afternoon after a family judge ordered her to grant her estranged partner access to his son.

The baby's body was discovered on Sunday morning in a hotel room on the outskirts of Tarbes.

Last week, a two-year-old toddler drowned at Lespinasse, also in southwestern France, after being driven into a canal by the suicidal 52-year-old girlfriend of her father. The girlfriend also died.

At the start of month, an eight-month-old baby died in the Gard region of southern France after allegedly being repeatedly thrown on the floor by his 21-year-old student father following a row with the estranged mother.
