A two-year-old girl found critically injured in an apartment in Cork in 2019 died of “forcefully inflicted injuries” having sustained a traumatic brain injury, an upper spinal cord injury coupled with polytrauma and lower limb injuries due to blunt force trauma.
Ms Bolster told the jury of seven men and four women of performing over 16,000 post-mortem examinations over the course of her career. Dr Bolster said that once the head injury was inflicted Santina would have been unable to cry. Effectively the child “would have gone in to a deep coma,” she said. The child sustained bruising to the right upper arm, the left upper arm, the left elbow, the chest and abdomen, the left sternum, the right side of the chest, the thorax and the pelvis.
