Was it revenge? Or overstrain? A mother reportedly killed five of her six children after her husband left her. She is silent in court, now the verdict will be passed.
It is a monstrous crime that has been tried for months in front of the Wuppertal district court. A mother from Solingen is charged with allegedly killing five of her six children. The 28-year-old denies the act, in the process she is silent. She was talked about early on, but not with her. The day after the dead children were found, the investigators declare: “The suspect is the mother.” At this point in time she was seriously injured in the hospital after a suicide attempt and was unable to be questioned. What happens afterwards in the social networks is reminiscent of a medieval witch hunt. Defense attorney Thomas Seifert feels compelled to say about his client before the trial begins: “She is a person and not a monster.” Now the judgment is to be made.
