Grieving mum had no key for fall window

THE grieving mother of a one-year-old baby boy who sustained fatal head injuries when he fell from a second-floor apartment window has told an inquest they did not have a key to lock the window.

Oskars Daukste of Lydon Court, Bothar Irwin, Galway, was just one year and four months when he fell 30 feet from a bedroom window of a rented apartment off Eyre Square on the morning of March 27, 2010.

Dublin City Coroner’s Court heard the baby’s mother Agita Daukste was tired as Baby Oskars had not gone to sleep until late the previous night and she fell asleep while her son was playing on the bedroom floor.
