Emergency suspect – dead baby in garbage bag: mother in custody

Date:

Two days after a dead newborn was found in a garbage bag in Vienna-Simmering, the suspected mother was taken into custody.

The reason given was the risk of committing the crime and the risk of escape. According to investigators, the 21-year-old confessed, but did not provide information to the judge on the advice of her lawyer. The baby’s body was discovered Monday in a garbage bag. As a police spokesperson explained, citing the preliminary autopsy report, the child had likely been strangled. The suspect’s partner remains on the run.

Boy was still alive after birth
The 21-year-old said she “grabbed the child by the neck and strangled her,” a police spokesman said Thursday. After the autopsy it also became clear that the boy was still alive after birth. The prosecutor ordered that the woman be taken to prison.

Open question about motive
The question of motive remains open. The man’s role has not yet been clarified. 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.
