Bali Father Kills Baby in Fit of Rage
A father who killed his five-month-old daughter by throwing her
repeatedly onto the floor said on Thursday that he did so because the
baby was crying and interrupted his sleep.
I Komang Jati, 22,
of Antiga village in Karangasem district, Bali, told police that his
wife had gone out, leaving him at home with their baby, Ni Luh Sriani.
When
his daughter started crying, Komang threw her onto the floor twice. The
baby continued crying and he threw her again, killing her. Komang’s
father-in-law saw the incident and reported him to the police,
according to Detik.com.
A spokesman for Bali Police said
Komang’s mother, Ni Nengah Simpen, went to check on the baby and found
Sriani’s head bruised and swollen. The baby was no longer breathing
after suffering fatal injuries to her head and back.
“I threw her on the floor because she would not stop crying. I wanted to kill her, but now I’m sorry,” Komang told police.
The police said that they would carry out psychological tests on Komang.
