A foreign national alleged to have poured boiling coffee on a baby boy in a Brisbane park last month fled the country as little as 12 hours before investigators could confirm his identity, police say.

The nine-month-old was seriously burned in the attack at Stones Corner on August 27 as he sat with his mum on a picnic rug, with another mother and her baby, and has undergone multiple surgeries.

    This whole story is very strange. A person who has been to the country multiple times over five years and is trained in countersurveillance (according to police, grain of salt) just decides one day to scald a random infant with coffee and flee the country? I’d be very interested to get further details if there are ever any discovered. In the meantime, I hope the baby’s recovery goes well.
