Mother suspected of murder: tragedy involving baby in the dumpster in Vienna

A tragic turn in Vienna: Baby Melek, just seven days old, was found dead in a dumpster after the mother, Büsra T., was released from the Favoriten clinic on Thursday. The 30-year-old woman, who faced difficult personal circumstances, is suspected of murdering her newborn baby. On Friday, police discovered the small body wrapped in a blanket and stuffed into a plastic bag, causing horror everywhere as reported by oe24.

The dramatic circumstances

Büsra lived under stressful conditions. Hospitalized for a short time, she became severely isolated from her family and the society in which she lives. The mother of the child's father, whom she had met secretly, felt left alone with the responsibility. Instead of seeking help or placing the child in a baby hatch where he could have been brought to safety, the woman decided to take a cruel step. Before she could leave the hospital, she is said to have put the baby in a garbage bag and thrown it into a container while she was on a final smoke break Pulse 24.

The first clues for the investigation emerged on Thursday, when an outcry went through Vienna and a large-scale search for the missing infant was initiated. After this yielded no clues, officers found the baby the next morning, revealing the full extent of the tragedy. The police ruled out a kidnapping from the start because the security measures in the hospital are subject to strict controls.

The investigation quickly focused on the mother, who initially told a false story about an alleged kidnapping victim. However, over time, she confessed that she could not cope with the situation and no longer saw a way out. She is now in custody while doctors have to determine the exact cause of the baby's death. Büsra T. is charged with suspicion of murder, but her defense argues that she acted under a psychological state of emergency.
