In Germany, a mother threw her newborn daughter out of the window because ” I thought that a child would ruin her career as an executive at Porsche.”
The Daily Mail reports this.
28-year-old Katharina Jovanovic from Lauffen am Neckar was found guilty of manslaughter by the Heilbronn District Court on Wednesday, July 3.
Judges heard how she secretly gave birth at home 10 months ago on September 12 and then dropped her baby daughter 3.5m out of her apartment window onto the pavement.
Frightened passers-by discovered the body of a baby with a broken skull under Yovanovitch’s balcony and called the police. Katharina admitted to committing the crime at the beginning of the trial in April, but could not explain the moment to the court, reports ASB Zeitung.
She also stated that she didn't realize she was pregnant. But she was accused of murder and deliberately hiding her pregnancy from colleagues and neighbors.
