British couple arrested in Spain over baby with fractured head The pair, who have not been named, insisted their two-and-a-half month old daughter had been hit on the head with a ball while the family were on the beach. They took the infant to the emergency department of the hospital in Marbella in the early hours of last Thursday morning after becoming concerned that their daughter would not stop crying. Paediatricians at Marbella's Costa del Sol hospital said she had various fractures to the skull, had suffered a haemorrhage and had other serious internal injuries and following the usual protocol, reported the case to police. Officers questioned the mother and father of the injured infant separately and said there were "discrepancies" between the two accounts. "The offered contradictory versions of what had happened," a police source told local newspaper Sur. The British couple who were due to return to the UK this week after their holiday have instead been arrested. The child is described as being in a "stable condition" on the hospital's infant ward. The pair will appear in front of a magistrate later this week.
