Parents under suspicion – baby’s body in the trash: new shocking details known

The discovery that hotel staff at a hotel in Simmering had to make is probably difficult to process. The body of a baby was discovered in a garbage room, wrapped in a garbage bag. The child’s mother and her partner – the two Austrians were on holiday in the federal capital – were arrested. They are considered urgent suspects.

Killed and packed in a garbage bag
But what the first investigations show is difficult to believe: according to information from the “Krone”, the baby was still alive at birth. The newborn – believed to be a boy – was then allegedly strangled and packed in a garbage bag.

According to the Vienna police, the mother admitted to the police during further questioning that she had used violence. More detailed information about the motive is subject to further investigation. Both detainees are currently in police custody until further warrants are issued by the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office.

Even before the staff made the disgusting discovery on Monday, an emergency service was called to the hotel because the 21-year-old Austrian was suffering from heavy bleeding in her abdomen. The woman was taken to a hospital in the Landstrasse district. There, doctors discovered that the 21-year-old had recently given birth to a child. According to the reports, the young woman initially vehemently denied that she had given birth. Her partner also stated that he did not know that his partner was pregnant.

Hotel staff in shock
Hospital staff suspected that a newborn baby might be missing and informed the hotel where the woman was staying. That’s where hotel staff made the shocking discovery.

Third child murder in a few weeks
It is the third child murder in just a few weeks. At the end of November, a dead baby was found in a waste container on Kundratstrasse, not far from Vienna’s Favoriten clinic. In mid-November, a murder of a four-year-old boy also took place in Favoriten.
