Mankato father could face new charges in baby girl’s death
Police say the child died Wednesday at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The infant had been hospitalized since Sept. 23.
MANKATO, Minn. (AP) – Prosecutors in Mankato are awaiting autopsy results before deciding whether to file more serious charges against a father who allegedly assaulted his 2-month-old child.
Police say the child died Wednesday at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The infant had been hospitalized since Sept. 23.
Thirty-nine-year-old Kristopher Dale Arlando Henderson, of Mankato, remained jailed Saturday on charges filed last month of first-degree assault.
According to the complaint, Henderson first tried to blame a cat for the injuries, but later admitted to hitting the baby on the back forcefully enough to break her ribs.
