However, on the fifth day after birth, October 24, the child died.

Due to the fact of death, law enforcement officers opened criminal proceedings under two articles of the Criminal Code:

Part 2 of Article 115 – intentional homicide marked “natural death”;
part 2 of Article 140 – improper performance of professional duties by a medical or pharmaceutical worker.

As the police informed “UP. Life”, the case was opened immediately after the mother’s appeal.
