The mother of the newborn found dead in a Viennese hotel, whose body was discovered in a garbage bag on Monday, has confessed to the crime. According to the preliminary autopsy report, the child was strangled. The 21-year-old is due to be transferred to a correctional facility today, while her partner remains at large.

The 21-year-old woman admitted to strangling her newborn, a police spokesman said. After the autopsy, it was clear that the baby lived after birth. The prosecutor’s office imprisoned the woman, but the request for preventive arrest is still pending. Her life partner, however, remains free.

Question mark on the father’s role after the discovery of the dead child

However, the question of motive remains open. He remains the subject of investigations launched Monday by state police on suspicion of murder, a spokesman said. Whether further proceedings will in fact be based on paragraph 75 StGB (murder) or eventually on paragraph 79 StGB (killing a child at birth), said the spokesman of the prosecutor’s office.

The man’s role is not yet clear. The 25-year-old had previously told police he knew nothing about his partner’s pregnancy. The two Austrians stayed at the hotel on Sunday for a holiday in the federal capital. On Monday, emergency services were finally called to the accommodation – initially due to the woman’s “severe lower abdominal bleeding”, as police reported. After treatment at the scene, she was eventually taken to a hospital in Vienna-Landstraße.
