(Trinidad Express) Doctors at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EWMSC) reported yesterday that week-old baby Jinayah was well on her way to recovery after being bitten by her father on Sunday at their East Dry River, Port of Spain home.
The suspect remained in police custody last night and he is expected to appear before a Port of Spain Magistrate today.
On Sunday morning the baby was picked up by the suspect and bitten on her cheek and leg during a fit of rage.
He attacked the baby after an argument with her mother Tineka Henry.
Jinayah’s great-aunt, Marcia Guy said she immediately rushed the baby to the paediatric ward of the EWMSC where emergency treatment to stabilise her condition was administered.
Besson Street CID officers are continuing investigations.
