In addition to seizures, strong emotional outbursts, and insomnia, people with this disorder have serious problems learning.
‘Florian A. murdered his kid and fabricated the robbery on himself,’ public prosecutor Joachim Wüstner stated, according to German newspaper Bild.
‘Leon was undeniably a charming youngster, however he exhibited disturbing behaviors such as biting, ripping off his mother’s hair, and experiencing many epileptic seizures daily.’
Apler wrote to his wife, “It feels like the worst day of our lives so far,” four days before Leon’s death, after a day care center had rejected the six-year-old. ‘The final straw,’ according to prosecutor Joachim Wuestner.
Defying the claim that Leon was too much for Apler, the man merely ordered a new chair for the youngster to use in the family’s newly renovated kitchen.
According to his lawyer, Mathias Kapferer, the 39-year-old’s wife is standing by him and there is no solid proof against him.
