New details are emerging about the clandestine daycare center in Estación Central where an eight-month-old baby died on Tuesday.
The tragedy occurred in a large house on 5 de Abril Street in the Estación Central district. The Investigative Police (PDI) confirmed the death of the infant.
The owner of the house, a 42-year-old woman, reportedly established the illegal business several months ago.
