An incident in the capital’s Ciudad Lineal district shocked local residents. A woman living in the area was taken into custody after being accused of attempting to end the life of her own ten-year-old daughter. According to police, the mother added a significant amount of various medications to yogurt and gave it to the child.
The events unfolded on September 9, when the woman’s older children came home and found an alarming scene: their mother and younger sister were unconscious. Without delay, the teenagers called emergency services and the police. Upon arrival, medics and law enforcement officers noticed multiple medicine packages in the apartment, as well as yogurt containing a suspicious powder.
Doctors who responded to the call quickly determined that both victims were suffering from medication poisoning. They were urgently taken to the hospital for necessary treatment. Both women’s conditions required immediate medical attention, but the child’s life was saved.
While the mother remained in the hospital under medical supervision, police took her into custody on suspicion of attempted murder. She is currently being held, while investigators work to clarify all the circumstances of what happened. The woman’s motives have not been disclosed, but the case has sparked widespread public debate and raised concerns about child safety in the family.
