Mother is said to have killed her child immediately after birth

Passers-by noticed the heavily bleeding mother in the apartment building and called the emergency services. The rescue then found the dead baby in the apartment. “Due to the evidence, the mother is suspected of having killed her son after the home birth,” said the police.

When asked by APA, spokesman Fritz Grundnig said that the evidence was “clear” without being able to go into details. On Thursday, neighbors in and around the apartment building, in which the Austrian apparently lives alone in an apartment, are to be questioned. The woman herself was taken to a hospital on Wednesday due to massive blood loss and has not yet been able to be questioned. The investigations are being conducted by the branch office of the Styrian State Criminal Police Office in Niklasdorf.
