"I regret everything I have done," the man said in a statement that was read out by lawyers. "We really wanted to have a daughter together, that was my wife's most fervent wish."
The pair had long wanted a daughter together, despite already having four children, including a son they had together. Their unfulfilled desire led them to this heinous act.
The couple specifically targeted Ukrainian refugees in order to execute their plan, having joined a group on Telegram to offer help with translation.
The indictment revealed the couple planned to kidnap the newborn girl after she was born, believing it would fulfil their dreams of having a daughter.
