The 21-year-old woman has admitted to strangling her newborn baby, a police spokesperson said. After the autopsy it was clear that the baby had lived after birth. The public prosecutor’s office has locked up the woman, but the request for pre-trial detention is still pending. However, her life partner remains free.

However, the question of motive remains open. This is still the subject of the investigation that the state investigation launched on Monday on suspicion of murder, a spokesperson said. Whether the further procedure will actually be based on paragraph 75 StGB (murder) or ultimately on paragraph 79 StGB (killing a child at birth) has yet to be assessed, the spokesperson for the public prosecutor’s office said.

The role of the man is also not yet clear. The 25-year-old had previously told police he knew nothing about his partner’s pregnancy. The two Austrians had checked into the hotel on Sunday for a holiday in the federal capital. The rescue crew was finally called to the property on Monday – originally due to the woman’s “severe bleeding in the abdomen”, as police reported. After treatment at the scene, she was eventually taken to a hospital in Vienna-Landstraße.
