One-year-old son neglected - Life imprisonment for murder for mother in Rostock
The boy died in the woman 's home strapped into a child car seat in September 2021 as a result of severe diarrhea and severe fluid loss due to a clot in his pulmonary arteries. His four-year-old brother was also left to fend for himself that night.
The defendant had acted out of pure selfishness, according to the verdict. She had been aware of the child's condition, but had resigned herself to it. When she returned home after the child's death, she tried to make it look like a tragic accident.
The defense had requested a suspended sentence of one and a half years for involuntary manslaughter. She intends to apply for an appeal. The verdict is therefore not yet final. The public prosecutor initially charged the 24-year-old with suspicion of manslaughter. Before the trial began in June, the court pointed out that it could be a case of murder.
