Granada couple have been arrested accused of being involved in the death of their neighbour’s six year old son.

Granada couple have been arrested accused of being involved in the death of their neighbour’s six year old son.

The father reported the child missing at 1.15am Wednesday morning, claiming that the boy had left their first floor flat without his parents noticing.

The body of the child was then found at the back of the same block by police who arrived at the scene shortly after.

Police consider that the child could have fallen from a window in a third floor flat in the same block in Calle Molino Nuevo, in the Almanjáyar area of the city. It’s thought the child could have climbed the stairs to the neighbour’s flat and fallen from their terrace. Police are investigating if it was a tragic accident, or whether the child was thrown from the balcony.

One report says they are investigating whether a 12 year old girl could have taken part in the death of the six year old.

The owners of the third floor flat, aged 54 and 36 have been arrested and the autopsy will determine if the child was already dead before falling or not. The 12 year old daughter of the arrested couple has now been placed in care for her protection.
