For one week after the arrival of the baby and nursing mother everything was fine. After a week the baby started crying suddenly every now and then. The elderly granny of the newborn advised to give gripe water. But the baby would not stop crying. Parents, who were distraught by the pain the baby was going through, took the baby to the paediatrician. The doctor who examined the baby was shocked to see the blood clots in hands and legs of the baby as well as the swelling in the legs. After treating the baby, the paediatrician advised the family to monitor the movement of the nanny. The family duly fixed CCTV in the house without the knowledge of nanny.
The CCTV camera revealed the demonic act of Irene. The family members were shocked to see Irene beating and twisting the hands, legs, neck and head of the baby in order to put it to sleep. They duly got her arrested by the police after providing incriminating evidence captured on CCTV.
The family doctor who suspected the behaviour of nanny was absolutely right. Sub-inspector Reshma B Momin, station inspector of Vashi police station investigated the whole incident and filed charge sheet in the court. Irene, who was in police custody, is released on conditional bail and stays in her relative’s house in Malad. She has to attend the police station every day.
The usual nanny, who had taken care of around seven to eight babies in the Serrao household, was not available as she had taken the responsibility of nursing some other new-born. So she recommended Irene to the family. Irene, wife of Maxim Vincent Lasrado, had agreed for a monthly sum of Rs 50,000 to take care of the baby saying that she is an expert in the job. She was given accommodation in the posh bungalow of the Serraos at Vashi also. Now she is caught red handed and police are monitoring her movements.
