Thursday morning at the regional criminal court in Vienna: for the first time, the suspected mother of the baby, who was in a coma, was questioned by a magistrate. There, the young woman (28) with Filipino roots defends herself with an unlucky version.
She previously told police that she shook her daughter “once out of desperation” because of the constant crying. In any case, a first preliminary report weighs heavily on the mother of two. That is why the Public Prosecution Service is currently investigating attempted murder – for the time being two weeks in prison applies.
For her top lawyer Dr. Astrid Wagner “that was to be expected with this file situation”. Of course, “the last word is far from over. I am very skeptical.” Because here too, the previous illnesses of the four-month-old girl, a premature birth, should be taken into account.
Family still clings to mother of two
“Even her environment speaks of a loving mother. She’s had a nervous breakdown. In any case, the family will continue to support her,” the veteran lawyer said in the “Krone” interview. Because the suspect has always taken good care of her daughter and has always been with her at the St. Anna Children’s Hospital for the treatment of anemia (editors: anemia).
Meanwhile, the doctors of the Vienna General Hospital look after the little patient in the intensive care unit around the clock. It is still unclear whether brain damage will persist.
