A woman and her ex-partner in the Czech Republic are facing up to 12 years in prison following the death of their newborn daughter in 2024. The pair are accused of neglecting the infant’s basic needs, including nutrition and hygiene, ultimately leading to her death. Authorities allege the baby also lacked adequate pediatric care. The case was heard behind closed doors at the Regional Court in Brno on Wednesday. The mother confessed to the charges during the proceedings. The prosecution argues the neglect directly caused the infant’s suffering from dehydration, malnutrition, and pain before her death. The court will determine the extent of their culpability and issue a sentence accordingly.
