Mother of baby burned by hot coffee in random attack calls for justice a year after 'unthinkable act'
The suspect fled to China hours after severely burning baby Luka with hot coffee, leaving the infant with over 60% burns and ongoing surgeries, Queensland Police said.
- On August 27, 2024, a 33-year-old man poured hot coffee on nine-month-old Luka while the child was with his family at Hanlon Park in Brisbane, resulting in serious burns.
- The man fled Australia days after the incident, believed to have returned to China, while Australian authorities continue pushing for his prosecution amid no extradition treaty.
- Luka has had eight surgical procedures, including the application of artificial skin, micro-needling, and laser therapy for his burn injuries, with his mother describing each treatment as a painful reminder of the attack and the ongoing lack of justice.
- Queensland Police and the Australian Federal Police continue their efforts to achieve justice for Luka and his family, while former officer Dr. David Craig calls on China to treat the attack with seriousness and explore prosecuting the suspect under its own laws.
- The case highlights challenges due to no formal extradition arrangement between Australia and China, prompting calls for international cooperation and justice for Luka despite ongoing trauma for his family.
