Baby dead in Bormujos: father asks for the mother's boyfriend to be jailed and sees signs of homicide

Two domestic violence complaints dismissed, a restriction on visits, and a baby dead from burns. The paternal family of the little girl, who died in Bormujos (Seville) after suffering severe burns, has requested the pre-trial detention of the man under investigation, the mother's partner, while the police keep all hypotheses open. The lawyers for the father and the grandfather believe it was no accident: they see signs of homicide.

The timeline pointing to the partner

The baby was born in January 2025. The relationship between the parents broke down around June of that year. In October, the mother filed a domestic violence complaint against the father; it was dismissed in November. In December, the infant suffered a dislocated arm while in her mother's care and had fungus, according to the father's account. In January 2026, the mother filed another complaint against the father, which was also later dismissed. After the complaints, the mother restricted the father's visits, arguing that he was a "jealous" man. Shortly afterwards, the mother began a relationship with a new man, whom the father now points to as the person responsible for the baby's death by burns.

The debate over the mother's responsibility

As the investigation moves forward, questions arise about the mother's role. When the baby was admitted to hospital, the mother attributed the burns to an "accident". After the death, she says she suspects "things" about her partner. Some voices point to possible negligence or even liability as an accomplice by omission if it is proven that she knew of the danger her partner posed to the child. The father's defence argues that the mother's behaviour was, at the very least, reckless, putting her relationship ahead of her daughter's safety.

The circumstances of the case, with the mother's earlier complaints against the father having been dismissed, and the baby's sudden death in a context of jealousy and violence, make the investigation crucial to determining whether it was an intentional homicide or a tragic accident.
