Berlin Prosecutors Indict Woman in Newborn’s Death as Darmstadt Trial Hears Forensic Testimony

Forensic findings drive both proceedings, from autopsy plus DNA in Berlin to police testimony on a laundry‑basket discovery in Neu‑Isenburg.

Die Mutter des toten Süuglings muss sich bald vor dem Landgericht I verantworten.

Nach dem Fund eines getöteten Babys auf einem Gehweg in Berlin hat die Staatsanwaltschaft Anklage gegen die Mutter des Kinds erhoben. Gegen die 25-jährige Mutter besteht der Verdacht des Totschlags, wie die Berliner Staatsanwaltschaft mitteilte.

Overview

  • Berlin prosecutors filed manslaughter charges against a 25-year-old accused of suffocating her newborn between May 8 and 9, with the body found wrapped on Kölner Damm.
  • An autopsy determined the baby was born alive and died by suffocation, and DNA first identified a presumed father before leading investigators to the mother.
  • The woman turned herself in on May 23, has been in pretrial detention since May 24, and a trial date before the Berlin regional court remains open as inquiries continue into circumstances and potential psychological factors.
  • Investigators in the Berlin case report that neither parent wanted the child and that both feared the birth would severely limit their life plans.
  • In Darmstadt, a 21-year-old student and her 26-year-old fiancé are on trial, with police witnesses describing a newborn found in a laundry basket with chest and neck stab wounds and luminol tests indicating wiped blood, while the defendants dispute involvement and recall.
