Fathers Stand Trial in Separate Baby Shaking Deaths in Germany

Two fathers face charges in Memmingen and Frankfurt for allegedly causing fatal injuries to their infants through violent shaking.

  • In Memmingen, a father is accused of shaking his six-month-old daughter to death, resulting in severe brain injuries and a skull fracture.
  • The Memmingen trial involves a ten-day process to determine the father's guilt, with the child's mother participating as a co-plaintiff.
  • In Frankfurt, a father faces charges of dangerous bodily harm with fatal consequences after his four-month-old daughter died from a shaking incident.
  • The Frankfurt mother, despite her initial defense of the father, had sought help from social services due to her health issues and the father's criminal background.
  • Both cases highlight the severe consequences of shaken baby syndrome, a form of abuse that can cause fatal brain injuries in infants.
