Favoriten Hospital: Baby abducted from ward
Dramatic incident at the clinic in Vienna-Favoriten on Thursday! The initial suspicion was that a newborn baby - a girl - had been abducted from the infant ward. A short time later, during the search operation, a police sniffer dog found a garbage bin - but the garbage collection service had already picked up the contents ...
On Thursday, the suspected abduction of a baby from the neonatal ward of the Favoriten clinic triggered a major police operation. The baby had disappeared from the neonatal ward shortly before midday.
A nurse had noticed this and raised the alarm. The police were then called. According to the police, the search was interrupted during the night. The search was resumed on Friday morning.
Investigators' trail leads to a dustbin
Police sniffer dogs were used in the course of the intensive search. They found a dung bin near the clinic. However, further investigations revealed that the garbage collection service had apparently already emptied the bin. This led to an urgent search for the MA 48 vehicle in question in the afternoon.
After a large-scale search throughout the city, the MA 48 vehicle in question was stopped and searched not far from the clinic. However, there is still no trace of the missing girl.
In the afternoon, the police searched the entire hospital for the newborn. The trunks of cars leaving the hospital were also checked.
Parents of the girl strongly suspected of the crime
So far, there has been no conclusive evidence that the child was abducted, but this could not be ruled out either. Investigations are being carried out in all directions. The child's parents, who are of Turkish origin, are also being targeted. However, the interrogations regarding a possible initial suspicion are proving difficult. During initial questioning, the father is unable to provide any conclusive information about the disappearance of his child. And the mother is in an exceptional psychological state. The matter will be investigated further on Friday.
In a written statement from the Vienna Health Association (WIGEV) to ORF "Wien heute", it said that there was "no open access" to the ward. The doors are locked: "In order to gain access, visitors have to ring an intercom. The staff will only open the door if it is clear that they have authorization to enter," WIGEV emphasized.
If you find yourself in an exceptional psychological situation or have suicidal thoughts, please contact the telephone helpline on 142 - free of charge and around the clock.
