Couple arrested over death of seven-month-old baby
<p dir="ltr">A man and a woman have been arrested following the death of a seven-month-old baby. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Detectives from Inner West Child Protection and Investigation Unit (CPIU) and Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) were called to a home in Yugar on November 3 about 6.45am to investigate the death of the infant. </p>
<p dir="ltr">A crime scene was declared and police took Reinhardt (Ryan) Bosch, 33, and his partner, Noemi Kondacs, 22, both known to the child, into custody. </p>
<p dir="ltr">It is alleged that the couple were praying over the child’s body as they waited for the ambulance to arrive, The Courier Mail reported.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Following inquiries and questioning, the police charged the pair with one count each of murder and torture.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The couple’s religious beliefs will also be part of the investigation. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Inner West Crime Group Detective Inspector David Jackman said there were “visible” injuries on the child. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“I’ve been a Detective for 30-odd years and it’s one of the most confronting scenes that I’ve seen,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Both the man and woman are not known to police, neither is that address,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“The investigation has uncovered injuries to the child that are enough for us to charge (the pair) with murder.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“The circumstances leading to the death we will allege have happened in the last 24 hours.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“From what I have seen the child wasn’t neglected in terms of nourishment and such, but it’s quite confronting.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">The couple are due to appear before Brisbane Magistrates Court on November 4. </p>
