Scandal process: couple in court after the death of mother in need of care

Pankow, Deutschland - A sensational process is currently taking place before the 32nd large criminal chamber in Berlin. The defendants are 37-year-old Vivien T. and her 43-year-old husband Christoph T., who have to answer for assault with death and abuse of those who have to be protected. At the center of the procedure is the tragic death of Vivien T.'s mother, Carmen T., who was suffering from multiple sclerosis and was taken to the hospital in a critical condition a year ago.

Carmen T. was very dehydrated, suffering from blood poisoning and kidney failure. Her wounds had deteriorated, even maggots were found in the affected areas. The accusation caused the accusation that the accused of their relatives in need of care were absolutely indifferent. So they would only have made one canister with water available as a drinking source and rejected any medical help. Carmen T. died of multi -organ failure ten days after her hospital stay.

interrogations and testimonies

On the fifth day of the trial, several witnesses had their say. A neighbor, who described Vivien T. as a friendly but somewhat monosyllabic woman, reported an intensive odor nuisance that came from the couple's apartment. This inconvenience led him to turn to the property management, which resulted in tensions in the house. He had most recently seen Carmen T. in the summer of the previous year and confirmed that she was dependent on help in a wheelchair.

A family doctor who has been caring for Carmen T. for 30 years said that she had rejected all medical help. On November 20 of last year, she also assured him by phone, she did not need support because she can already do it. The doctor expressed that only "brachial violence" could have caused her to help her. This statement raises questions about how much influence a relative has on the decisions of a severely disabled person.

Vivien T. explained that she was very lovingly opposed to her mother, but emphasized that her mother was opposed to help with a nursing service. The accused broke out into tears during the negotiation and admitted that they had made mistakes, but emphasized that he had not maliciously acted.

The process is expected to take longer, since the chamber has already scheduled three further negotiation dates by December 2. This Situation remains tense while the negotiation continues to develop. The public is eagerly awaiting the decisions and possible judgments that could result from this case. The outcome remains uncertain, but the provisions provided and the testimonies give a deep insight into the tragedy of events and the complexity of the case.
