Mother in the hospital, guarded by the police, the family hired a lawyer

Lawyer from Zagreb Milko Križanović confirmed to 24sata that he was contacted by the family of the woman who is under police supervision in the hospital. “Please allow me not to speak about the specific case at this time, but I can confirm that the family has contacted me seeking legal assistance. I believe that the competent services on the ground will prevent a disaster and close this sad event with a happy ending.” said Križanović.

He reminds that in Croatia, the murder of a child by the mother can be defined as aggravated murder under the Criminal Code, especially when the child is vulnerable due to its age and health condition. Such a crime is punishable by imprisonment for at least ten years or long-term imprisonment of up to forty years. The initiation of proceedings in cases of such crimes depends on the circumstances of the case, including the method of execution, motives and psychological state of the perpetrator, the lawyer explains.
