The murder trial of a mother from Herne begins in Bochum. The woman is said to have suffocated two sons, a third barely survived.
Bochum (dpa / lnw) - A mother from Herne is said to have suffocated her two sons in 2011 and 2012. A third child barely survived in 2018. The 33-year-old German has been on trial for murder in Bochum since Monday. According to the indictment, she killed her two-and-a-half-month-old boy in 2011 by placing a blanket on the baby's face and waiting for it to suffocate. Just months later, she reportedly did the same with her 19-month-old firstborn son. When the third son, who was born in the meantime, was finally taken to the hospital because of symptoms of suffocation in 2018, a pediatrician became suspicious. The accused was arrested in April 2022. She will remain silent on the allegations in court.
