Circumcision accused branded ‘baby killer’

THE man who is alleged to have used a razor blade to circumcise a 29-day-old baby which later died has been branded a “baby killer” by fellow prisoners.

Osagie Igbinidion has been stigmatised by the alleged incident and suffered abuse from fellow inmates since he was imprisoned in connection with the charge last September, counsel told Waterford Circuit Court yesterday.

Twenty-nine-year-old Igbinidion was jailed in September, after the death of baby Callis Osaghae at Summerhill Mews, Waterford city on August 18.
