A police officer today recalled how he performed CPR using just two fingers on the chest of an eight-week old baby to avoid crushing the child’s ribcage.
The 30-year old is standing trial at Belfast Crown Court, and she wept in the dock as the police constable recalled how he tried to save her baby son’s life. When asked by Crown prosecutor Richard Weir KC what happened next, the police officer said: “I heard a young child crying. It was coming from the direction of the living room.
The officer said he started to perform CPR on the baby - and at this point the child’s mother told him ‘I wouldn’t worry about him. He’s dead. I stabbed him’. The constable said he continued CPR “for a few minutes, but it felt like a long time”, and after the paramedics arrived he carried on “until the ambulance was ready to take him to the Royal”.Both children were rushed to the Royal, and whilst the young girl was successfully treated for a stab wound to her chest, her baby brother was pronounced dead at the hospital at 9pm.
Awful that kids had to suffer. Really feel for psni and ambulance staff having to be the first on scene and especially the psni officer trying to save the baby. Really sad.
Seriously messed up case for that officer. Hope he gets the support he most likely needs. Absolutely crazy article
