A one-year-old child who had been hospitalized in critical condition after allegedly being physically abused by his stepmother has died, Yerevan’s Arabkir Medical Center confirmed.
According to a statement from the hospital, the boy, aged one year and two months, was admitted on March 16 in a state of clinical death.
Doctors initially managed to restore his vital functions, but he remained in the intensive care unit in critical condition. Despite continued efforts by medical staff, he succumbed to his injuries on March 21.
The stepmother is in pre-trial detention amid an ongoing criminal investigation.
Prosecutors earlier said the suspect regularly physically abused the child between January 22 and March 10 this year, and ultimately attempted to murder the child on March 15 by beating him.
