A Bridgeport man accused of killing his infant daughter at a motel in Milford has been ruled not competent to stand trial by a judge. The man, whose name has not been released, was arrested after the death of his 10-month-old daughter in September 2020. The incident occurred at the Super 8 Motel in Milford, where the man was staying with his daughter and the child’s mother.
According to reports, the man allegedly admitted to police that he had suffocated his daughter by holding her face against a mattress. The mother of the child was reportedly in the shower at the time of the incident.
The judge’s ruling of incompetence means that the man will be transferred to a state psychiatric facility for evaluation and treatment. It is unclear when or if he will be deemed competent to stand trial in the future.
This tragic case has left the community in shock and raises questions about the mental health and well-being of individuals involved in such heinous acts. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and more details may emerge as the case progresses.
