On November 8th, the Osaka Prefecture Police Toyonaka-Minami Department arrested Hisayoshi Genno (33), a security guard living in Honan-cho-Nishi 3, Toyonaka City, on suspicion of injuring a 1-month old baby with boiling water. The baby is thought to be the son of his de facto wife in her twenties and suffered a severe burn on the buttocks.
The accused is denying the charges, saying he took a bath with the baby and sprayed the shower over him, but the temperature setting of the shower was high.
It is alleged that at around 9:30pm on the 6th, he sprayed boiling water over the baby and caused him to be burned.
According to the police, the accused etc. took the baby to a hospital in Osaka city in the night of the 7th because the baby didn't appear normal. The incident came to light when the doctor examined the baby and reported the case to the police.
The accused lives with a de facto wife and two children.
"He (the accused) was a quiet person and I had not heard yelling or the baby crying either. I heard that an accident had happened in the bathroom. What happened?", the neighboring woman said. |
