After Thursday’s terrible tragedy, in which a one-week-old baby was “discarded” in a waste container not far from Vienna’s Favoriten clinic, the mother is still considered a suspect. The 30-year-old is still in police custody. It was initially unclear whether and when pre-trial detention would be imposed.
A newborn baby was left to die, alone in a plastic dumpster. And no one knows why. The tragic story of Melek, the girl from the Favoriten clinic in Vienna, divides a country. On the one hand, it causes sadness, consternation, anger and misunderstanding. At the same time, it is also intended to wake up society to a subject that is often still taboo: depression (postpartum psychosis).
The girl was only ten days old
So far we only know the facts of the ten-day-old girl’s death tragedy: she was taken from her warm bed in the premature baby ward – wrapped in a blanket and a plastic bag – carried into the freezing cold air and placed in a waste bin outside the hospital. hospital area.
On Friday morning, after a massive search, intense questioning and conflicting statements, the little one’s mother led officers to her ‘discarded’ child. Too late. It was frozen.
Mother in police custody
It is still unclear what will happen next for the 30-year-old Turkish resident, who, as was widely reported, was arrested on strong suspicion of a crime.
The woman suspected of murder is currently in custody and interrogations are ongoing. It is unclear whether pre-trial detention can be imposed on the woman, who is believed to have an intellectual disability. A corresponding request had not yet been submitted by the Public Prosecution Service on Saturday evening.
