Philipsburg:--- The mother of a six month old baby who died mysteriously some two weeks ago remains in police custody confirmed Chief Prosecutor Taco Stein. Stein said that they believe the mother of the young infant had something to do with her death and they have enough to keep the young woman behind bars a bit longer.
Asked if the death of the baby was brutal or accidental Stein said if the latter was so then the woman would not have been in police custody that long. He further explained that the pathologist has to conduct some microscopic tests to determine the exact cause of death of the young child, and unless that is not done and the results are not in no one should speculate on the cause of death.
Some two weeks ago police held both parents of the child after they were called in by doctors of the St. Maarten Medical Center when the dead child was taken to the hospital for treatment. Police has since released the father from custody.
