Mother arrested
Baby’s body found in garbage bin on hospital grounds
Now the sad certainty: the baby missing since Thursday has now been found dead in a dustbin on the hospital grounds of the Favoriten Clinic. The young mother is urgently suspected of the crime and has been provisionally arrested. She is apparently in a state of mental distress. The baby was only ten days old.
A shocking twist in the case of the missing baby from the Favoriten clinic in Vienna: the tragic discovery ends the intensive search that had been underway since Thursday. The 29-year-old mother is urgently suspected of murder and has confessed to the crime, according to the police. She was also the one who showed investigators the waste container containing the ten-day-old baby during the interrogation on Friday night. It was found at around 10 o'clock on Friday morning.
Baby probably froze to death
According to initial information, the mother probably wrapped her daughter in a plastic bag and a blanket and then placed her in a waste container not far from the clinic. According to initial reports, she probably froze to death due to the winter temperatures. An autopsy has now been ordered to clarify the cause of death.
Around two hours after the body was found, crime scene investigators from the State Office of Criminal Investigation were still working on the evidence. The scene in Kundratstraße in front of the Favoriten clinic was cordoned off for eleven car lengths. The officers of the Tulzer homicide squad are still investigating at full speed.
Carer noticed the disappearance
On Thursday, the initially assumed abduction of the baby from the neonatal ward 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 alerted.
Police sniffer dogs were deployed in the course of the intensive search. They found a dustbin near the clinic. However, further investigations revealed that the garbage collectors 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 hospital. The girl could not be found. The first lead of the service dogs was probably a false alarm.
The Vienna Health Association (WIGEV) had pointed out on Thursday that there was no free access to the neonatal ward. This was also the reason why the investigators' suspicions were focused on the closest family environment from the outset and the possibility that the baby had been kidnapped was ruled out.
