Innocent baby snatched from parents and murdered by monkeys

A 4-month-old baby has died after being kidnapped and tossed off a roof by monkeys in India

A family of three were relaxing on the roof of their home when a gang of monkeys came onto the roof and started harassing the trio.

The parents, including 25-year-old father tried to scare the animals off, but the situation escalated with the monkeys surrounding and taunting them.

The panicked father tried to flee towards the stairs with his newborn son, but the baby slipped through his hands.

According to the family, one of the monkeys took the baby and then threw him off the roof, leading to his instant death.

The family was preparing for the baby’s naming ceremony when the tragedy occurred.

Monkey-related deaths are not uncommon in certain places of the world, especially India.
