Afreen would have been brain damaged had she lived: Docs

April 11, 2012 11:46

Yesterday, Afreen was still on ventilator and she had blood transfusion. Doctors at Vani Vilas Hospital, where she was admitted on Sunday in the intensive care unit, had said that it would least take three weeks for her to recover.

Had she lived, she would have been deformed and her brain cells would have been damaged, say doctors, as a result of the dislocation on her neck and the convulsions.

The baby had a severe head injury, a dislocated neck, cigarette burn marks and deep bite marks on the thigh and buttocks. Umar Farook, father of Afreen, has confessed to police that he tried to kill the child because he wanted a boy and not a girl. He has been arrested. The 25-year-old also confessed to having attempted to murder her on earlier occasions, police said.
