3-year-old boy dies after being thrown by mother from building’s 22nd floor

A three-year-old boy in Chongqing, China died after his mother threw him down the 22nd floor of a building, China Press reported.

She did so in front of another child, whom she later attempted to hurt as well.

Chinese police said that she committed the act after a dispute with her mother-in-law.

According to Sohu, footage of the fatal incident made its rounds on social media on Monday (1 April).

The video shows the woman with two children at a large living room window.

At one point, she placed one child — her three-year-old son — outside the window, with his legs dangling precariously.

Appearing highly emotional, she reportedly kept shouting that she was “sick”.

Although she initially held onto her son’s hands firmly, she let go shortly after.

The woman, a 37-year-old with the surname He, became manic at around 7am.

 

She reportedly got into a fight with her mother-in-law and injured her with a kitchen knife during the altercation.

After that, she threw her three-year-old son outside the window, resulting in his demise.

Citing multiple Chinese news reports, 8world News noted that He then tried to throw the other child down as well, but the latter was thankfully unhurt.

Neighbours and relatives purportedly said that He had been displaying “abnormal” behaviour recently.

Police have since arrested He and investigations are ongoing.
