Baby Corpse at Vienna Clinic Favoriten: Trial in July

In the case of the infant who was allegedly killed by his mother shortly after birth at the Favoriten Clinic in Vienna, the trial against the 30-year-old will take place on July 8. She must answer to a jury for murder. The trial is scheduled for one day. She has so far confessed and cited family problems as the reason for her actions. The child had disappeared from the hospital and was later found dead in a trash container.

Baby's Body Found in Vienna-Favoriten

The baby was untraceable from the neonatal ward of the clinic on November 21, 2024, which was noticed by a nurse. A large-scale search operation, including dogs and a drone, initially brought no success. The child's body was found shortly thereafter outside the clinic grounds in the container on Kundratstraße, after the woman provided information about it.

The 30-year-old had been in a relationship with the child's father for several years, and the two even got engaged in 2022. But an event changed the relationship: The couple was arrested in Hungary three years ago on suspicion of human smuggling and spent several months in custody. Since then, the woman's family has urged the 30-year-old to separate, as the relatives blamed the prospective son-in-law for the imprisonment. The relationship was permanently strained, and the woman was practically monitored by her parents. Thus, the accused only met the man secretly.

Abortion No Longer Possible

In July 2024, she noticed her pregnancy. Fearing being disowned by her parents, the couple decided on an abortion, which was no longer possible due to the advanced stage. The woman then hid that she was expecting a child and did not visit a doctor. Only at her boyfriend's urging did she see a doctor, who told her that the baby was healthy and the due date would be mid-December 2024. On November 14, 2024, the woman went into labor and gave birth to a healthy girl.

The infant was taken to neonatology for monitoring due to the early birth but developed well. While the child's father was happy about his daughter, the woman's family reacted anything but positively. On November 21, 2024, the woman was supposed to be discharged, which stressed and pressured her. For the 30-year-old, who is legally represented by Astrid Wagner, the situation was completely hopeless as she rejected her motherhood.

Skull Trauma and Bone Fractures

On the day of discharge, she put the child in a shopping bag and left the clinic. According to the prosecution, she allegedly killed the girl through blunt force trauma. The one-week-old girl had suffered massive skull trauma and multiple bone fractures. The woman disposed of the body in a trash container and returned to the hospital, where the child's absence had already been noticed. When confronted, she feigned ignorance and also told the child's father that the baby had suddenly disappeared. When he asked if she had anything to do with the disappearance, she vehemently denied it.

A day later, the child's body was found, and the woman was arrested. She admitted to having killed the baby. According to lawyer Wagner, she will maintain this responsibility. She had not wanted a child from the beginning. She is now said to be suffering from severe depression but was deemed sane at the time of the act. If convicted as charged, the previously unblemished woman faces ten to 20 years or life imprisonment.
