Overview

• Prosecutors allege the 24-year-old gave birth at home in early February and then killed the newborn before placing the body in a biowaste bin.
• In a statement read by her lawyer, the defendant said the baby was delivered into a toilet, showed no signs of life, and was then wrapped and put into a bag before disposal.
• A waste-site machine operator testified that he discovered the remains at the Freital facility on February 7 and immediately notified his superiors and police.
• Investigators traced the suspect after a colleague reported noticing her pregnancy had disappeared, leading to her arrest on February 12 and ongoing pre-trial detention.
• The defendant’s statement described a difficult upbringing, two existing children, and feeling overwhelmed, with her partner learning of the birth only months later.
