Police to receive medical report

Newsday was told the medical report is the final part of the investigation. An earlier report stated that a nurse employed at the Port of Spain General Hospital was questioned by investigators of the Child Protection Unit over her alleged involvement in the beating of the twoyear- old. She maintained she did not hit the child and claimed the child fell and had complained about being constipated.

The toddler is still in a critical condition at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Centre in Mt Hope.

Last week the child complained about feeling unwell and her father took her to hospital where an examination revealed her colon had been ruptured as a result of blunt force trauma.

She underwent surgery but the injuries were so extensive the child was put on life support.
