In Kapfenberg, a newborn died at birth at the end of February. A 27-year-old woman from Styria is suspected. Was the secret relationship with the child’s father the motive?
A 27-year-old woman gave birth to a child in her apartment in Kapfenberg last week. Because she was bleeding in the stairwell, neighbors called 911. In the apartment, the emergency services made a sad discovery: they found a dead baby. The boy may have been murdered after birth.
“The autopsy revealed massive violence to the head and neck,” said Andreas Riedler, spokesman for Leoben’s public prosecutor’s office. The baby is said to have suffered a skull fracture.
Secret relationship with the child’s father?
The 27-year-old may have been alone when the contractions started. She lost a lot of blood and was taken to the hospital. The child’s father is said to have visited her with a friend. The public prosecutor does not want to comment on a secret relationship between the two. Nor what the man knew about the baby. Riedler said further investigations are ongoing. A psychiatric expert must be called in.
Victims in shock
Judicial expert Manfred Walzl also has a lot of experience with people in exceptional psychological situations: “The person concerned is in a kind of state of shock and perhaps did not want to admit his situation until then. This is not a classic murder. That is why the scope of punishment is different than for murder, for example .”
The crux of the matter is that the child’s mother must have been under the influence of the birth process. It is for the prosecutor to judge.
