法國9歲男孩因不寫作業被家人暴打致死大綱

Four members of the same family have been arrested after a nine-year-old boy was beaten to death at his home in the eastern French city of Mulhouse.

在法國東部城市米路斯一名9歲男孩被家人暴打至死之後，警方已將該家庭的4名成員逮捕。

Police sources told local media that the boy had refused to do his homework and was hit with a broom handle.

警方消息人士向當地媒體透露，這名男孩是因爲不寫作業而被家人用掃帚暴打。

The boy's elder brother, sister and stepsister were all present at the time of the incident.

事發時，該男孩的姐姐、哥哥和哥哥的女友都在現場。

Although his mother was not there, she too has been arrested and was aware of what was going on, reports say.

報道指出，男孩的母親當時雖未在現場，但因對整個家暴過程皆知情也遭到了逮捕。

But the family's initial accounts of what had happened and the ensuing post-mortem examination prompted police to continue their investigation.

這家人對所事件發生的最初描述以及隨後的屍檢，使得警方決定繼續展開調查。

Bruises were discovered on the boy's body, particularly on his feet, according to Alsace website DNA.

據阿爾薩斯網站DNA稱，在男孩身上發現了瘀傷，尤其是在他的腳上。

Although he had suffered a cardiac arrest, pathologists said the cause of death had been the blows he had suffered, DNA reported.

據DNA報道，雖然該男孩是死於心臟驟停，但病理學家表示，心臟驟停正是由於此次家暴所致。
