CHENNAI: In a shocking case, Chintadripet police arrested a lawyer on charges of having murdered his own adopted daughter, after realizing that the four year old had speech disorder. Though the murder took place in July 2016, police action came only now, pursuant to the new Chennai city police commissioner A K Viswanathan's instruction to subordinate officers to complete all pending cases in their stations.

According to police, the lawyer, X Gerald and his wife Sangeetha, who works as lecturer in Tamil Nadu Dr Ambedkar Law University here, adopted the child in May 2016 from a private orphanage. On July 7, 2016, she was rushed to the Child Trust Hospital in Nungambakkam with injuries. However, the doctors declared the child dead on arrival and sent the body to the government hospital for autopsy.

Though the hospital authorities indicated to the investigators that there were serious doubts about causes of the child's death, it was not seriously dealt with, police sources said.

On Thursday, Chintadripet police inspector Sahadevan summoned lawyer Gerald, who lives on Sami Naicken Street in Chintadripet, and questioned him about the murder. Gerald was then booked for offences punishable under the Sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence) IPC and arrested him. He was remanded in prison after being produced before a magistrate court in Egmore.
 

Gerald told police that they had chosen the child and named her as Mirudula, before realizing that she had an articulation problem. He claimed to have treated her by giving her 'shock treatment'. Police said Gerald had beaten the child and that due to the repeated blows, the child suffered injuries and collapsed on July 7, 2016.

After the child's death and a damning medical/forensic report, the then police inspector Sivamani of Chintadripet police station had searched for Gerald but failed to trace him.

A number of witnesses gave evidence in the Court in Glostrup on Thursday in the case of the murder of heavily pregnant Louise Borglit.

On November 4, 2016, a man was called by his nephew.

The nephew sounded desperate and unhappy on the phone. Something he had been doing lately.

The uncle had a hard time understanding what the nephew was saying to him, but he understood so much that the nephew thought it might all be the same now.

Then it was hung up. The uncle tried to call again, but without success. That's why he sounded the alarm.

Adoption case not illegal

By Jason Pan / Staff reporter

Yunlin County prosecutors this week completed their probe into the adoption of 17 Vietnamese children by families in central Taiwan, saying the suspects were not engaged in human trafficking and charging them only with document forgery.

“We found that all of the 17 Vietnamese children were relatives of the Vietnamese women who had acquired [Taiwanese] citizenship by marriage,” Yunlin District Prosecutors’ Office chief prosecutor Huang Yi-hua (???) said on Wednesday.

These are not cases of child smuggling or international human trafficking, Huang added.
