A woman in Austria was convicted of grossly negligent homicide after fatally infecting her neighbor with COVID-19. The court noted a virological report linked her to the infection.
The judge expressed sympathy towards the defendant but stressed the expert's near-certain proof of transmission. He remarked on the unfortunate nature of her situation amid a pandemic.
Previously, the same woman faced a conviction for intentionally endangering others through communicable diseases, indicating a pattern of reckless behavior during the health crisis.
Family statements during the trial emphasized that the woman had contact with the victim, despite her claims of staying bedridden due to illness.
