The child is one and a half years old. On Friday last week, it was admitted to Odense University Hospital with a fracture. Since then, Vejen Municipality has reported the case to the police, and it has resulted in the arrest of the two.
The woman and the man are charged with violating the Penal Code’s provision on so-called qualified violence – in everyday speech called aggravated violence.
For the sake of the further investigation of the case and for the sake of the victim, the prosecution wanted to hold the court hearing in Esbjerg behind closed doors.
The court hearing has ended with both the woman and the man being imprisoned until 4 May. They deny guilt, but have chosen not to appeal the decision to the Western High Court, the police said on Friday afternoon.
