Distent in Vienna: Baby Melek dead, mother in custody because of suspicion of murder!

Kundratstraße, Wien, Österreich - Austria is shaken: The tragic death of the only ten -day melek has triggered violent emotions across the country. The premature baby fell victim to a brutal act of violence, which led to a massive traumatic brain trauma and numerous broken bones before the small body was disposed of in a plastic waste container in Kundratstrasse. At the center of the investigation is the 30-year-old mother of the baby, who is now in custody. The Vienna Regional Court saw the need for imprisonment to prevent the risk of further crimes.

The mother made the first confessions at the beginning, but now she is silent and uses her right to refuse. An indictment for murder is expected, since the relevant 24 hours after birth for a 'child killing' have already been exceeded. In the background of the horror act, there are apparently important family problems: both parents of the child, with Turkish roots, are not married and the child was unwanted what the conservative parents apparently could not accept. These circumstances led to a family stove that resulted in this terrible crime.

The case has a public explosiveness that is reinforced by the defender of the mother, the well -known lawyer Astrid Wagner. In the past, Wagner has become aware of media -effective cases such as those of Jack Unterweger and Josef Fritzl. She takes over the defense of the detained mother with the assessment that she acted in the state of emergency of the birth, even though the birth was already for ten days.

Viennese politics is also startled: the Viennese FPÖ boss Dominik Nepp was shaken by the supposedly motivated act, in his assessment, a girl had to die in order to avert a supposed shame. The Melek case testifies to the deep social cracks and tragedy through misunderstood cultural conflicts.
