Terrible family tragedy in Lower Austria: a father is suspected of murder, his daughter, only three weeks old, is dead. But suddenly everything is completely different…
The shocking family crime took place last weekend in the south of Lower Austria. When a young father wakes up, the baby, only three and a half weeks old, lies lifeless next to him. Because his newborn daughter is no longer breathing, the young father panics and calls the emergency services.
But even the arriving doctors can no longer help the child – little Laura (name changed by the editors) is declared dead on the spot.
Murder alarm: sleeping child crushed?
In addition to the enormous pain for family and relatives, there is also a terrible suspicion: a murder alarm!
Was it a murder or a terrible accident? Did the 22-year-old even accidentally suffocate or crush his daughter in her sleep? The violence squad of the State Criminal Investigation Department of Lower Austria intervenes, but the broken father is quickly acquitted. Because according to the autopsy of the baby’s body, everything is completely different!
As the investigation shows, the three and a half week old girl died of so-called cot death. One of the greatest mysteries in modern medicine.
Year after year in Austria there are numerous cases of these cases where babies who appear perfectly healthy simply stop breathing while they sleep for no apparent reason.
A silent, terrifying pain. Unnoticed by the parents, who are left with sadness and often agonizing self-doubt that they haven’t done enough.
