Horror in Vienna: Newborn in the dumpster - suspected murder against mother!
Horrifying and unbelievable: A drama of unimaginable cruelty occurred in a waste container on Vienna's Kundratstrasse, near the Favoriten clinic. A 30-year-old mother, originally from Turkey, is at the center of the investigation. On Monday morning, a judge at the Vienna Regional Court decided to order the woman into custody. She is accused of murdering her daughter, who was only a few days old, after she allegedly threw her against the asphalt several times!
The incredible tragedy struck during a smoke break on Thursday morning. The mother was due to be discharged from the hospital that day and took the opportunity to take the infant, who was still alive at the time, outside. The police report that the woman cited “family problems” as the motive when she was questioned. An autopsy result then confirmed the unimaginable: the newborn died of massive traumatic brain injury and suffered multiple bone fractures as a result of blunt force.
Family conflicts and suspected honor killings
Rumors and dark shadows about the motive: Considered “unwanted” in the Turkish community, the little girl could have fallen victim to a cruel honor killing. The infant's parents were not married and the mother kept the pregnancy a secret from her family. Desperate and not knowing what to do with her illegitimate child, the woman wrapped the baby in a plastic bag. But before she put it in the container, she brutally threw it onto the asphalt several times.
The investigation revealed further shocking details: one day before the crime, the woman is said to have turned off the premature baby's medical equipment to test possible alarms. In desperation and fear of the family's reaction, the mother made decisions that led to a shocking tragedy. The responsible authorities now face the difficult task of fully clarifying the background and brutal details of this case.
