Father Faces Court Over Toddler's Death in Halle

The trial begins with high security as parents and grandmother are charged in connection to the fatal scalding of a two-year-old girl.

The father, mother, and grandmother of a two-year-old girl are on trial at the Landgericht Halle following her death from severe burns in May.
The father is accused of murder by omission and dangerous bodily harm after allegedly immersing his daughter in hot water to punish her.
The mother and grandmother face charges of negligent homicide by omission for failing to seek medical help despite the child's critical condition.
The child died two days after the incident from a systemic inflammatory reaction caused by her burns, which were treated only with home remedies.
The trial is set to continue with additional hearings scheduled throughout November and December, with witnesses expected to testify in future sessions.
