National Police in Córdoba investigating the death on Friday night of a four year old boy who fell into the rio Guadalquivir are now pursuing the theory that this was in fact a suicide attempt by the mother.
All evidence gathered so far apparently tends to support the theory of an attempted suicide, although the police have yet to interview the woman who is currently in the Hospital Reina Sofía suffering from severe shock.
If this turns out to be the case, the mother could be charged with murder.
