The tragedy occurred Thursday when the child fell into the water and the mother jumped in after him, Swedish Maritime Administration spokesperson Jonas Franzen said. He said the child fell from a height of about 20 meters.

The boy was wheelchair bound and the whole thing is being investigated as a murder & suicide, so yes.

[-] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

so yes.

You can't really say that when you don't fucking know. It's being investigated to find out if the answer is yes.

It's an investigation because they don't know every single thing yet, like if the boy even was alive or not when he got thrown overboard as there are eye witness reports saying he was slumped and unmoving in his wheelchair hours earlier.
What started the murder & suicide investigation that does not have any other suspects was surveillance video evidence that disproved the initial assumption that the mother jumped after him to save him. Not a lot of possibilities for who get the "murdered" and who the "murderer & suicide" labels there.

Hello, just wanted to give a friendly suggestion to use terms like "wheelchair user" or "person who uses a wheelchair" instead of "wheelchair bound" or "confined to a wheelchair". There are many articles explaining why in more detail for those wanting to know.
