Baby killed: Investigation against grandpa dropped

After an unexpected birth in her bedroom, a mother in Kapfenberg killed her child in shock in February 2023. The grandfather was also under investigation for contributing to the murder. However, these have now been dropped.

What happened in Kapfenberg in February 2023 is hard to bear: As reported, a then 27-year-old Styrian woman with Serbian roots killed her newborn baby, which she gave birth to alone in the bedroom of her apartment. She claims to have been unaware of the pregnancy, as did the rest of her family and her partner at the time, a footballer. When the birth started, she sent him a message: "I think I was pregnant, darling." But he didn't respond.

At her trial, however, her father was also targeted, and an investigation was even opened into "contributing to murder".
