The district of San Blas (Madrid) has been shaken by the arrest of a couple accused of an alleged crime of injury after introducing glass fragments in a jar of baby food. The affected family, who share an apartment with those investigated in the Arcentales Avenue, reported the events that occurred on August 30th, XNUMX.
The mother of the child, barely ten months, detected foreign bodies when preparing the baby food and, when emptying it onto a plate, found that they were small splinters compatible with bottle glassAfter calling 091 (CIMACC Room), a patrol car arrived at the home and verified the presence of remains in the food.
How the case was uncovered
According to police sources, officers found evidence in the baby food jar that was kept in the refrigerator at home and took statements from the cohabitants. From the beginning, suspicions were directed at the two tenants with whom the family shared the house due to previous friction between both parties.
The Madrid Police Headquarters reported that steps were taken to secure evidence and the report was forwarded to the judicial authority. Among the actions taken was the seizure of the container and the remains found, as well as the immediate communication to the CIMACC Room 091.
Those arrested are a 57-year-old man of Ecuadorian nationality and a 49-year-old Colombian woman, who had rented a room to the baby's family. Both were arrested as alleged perpetrators of a crime of bodily harm and taken to police headquarters before being brought before a court.
The police intervention, focused on avoiding risks for the minor, allowed to verify that the food had been tampered with with tiny crystals. No physical injuries were reported on the little boy, thanks to his mother's quick reaction.
Previous friction and family situation
After appearing before the court, the two detainees were left in freedom and returned to their shared home. The affected family, consisting of Claudia and Joel and their baby, claims to now live entrenched in his room for fear of reprisals.
The parents report that, in addition to the baby food episode, they have suffered threats, including warnings to throw the child out of a window in an attempt to take over the house. Despite requesting a restraining order, they indicate that was not granted to them.
In this context, Claudia confesses that she cannot get what happened out of her head and that her priority is baby safetyEvery time they leave the room, they do so with their cell phones recording to record any incidents.
The judicial procedure will continue its course to determine responsibilities and, where appropriate, additional protective measures. Meanwhile, the police are continuing their investigation into the reported events and the living environment.
What happened in this house in San Blas illustrates a conflict of coexistence taken to the extreme: some crystals in a jar prevented in time, an ongoing investigation and a family demanding to live in peace without fear in their own home.
