Thuringia: Baby dies in the toilet: verdict against Erfurter expected

Erfurt (dpa/th) - In the trial for the death of an infant, the verdict is expected in Erfurt today. The public prosecutor's office had demanded two years of probation for the 44-year-old accused, as a spokesman for the Erfurt district court said. The defense had pleaded for an acquittal.

The defendant is charged with manslaughter. She is said to have given birth to a child in her apartment and not cared for it, so that it died. The newborn suffocated in the toilet. The process began in mid-June. The pleadings were already presented at a previous meeting.
