German couple charged in murder-kidnapping plot DW 09/03/2024
Briefly

The couple, a 43-year-old man and his 44-year-old wife, are charged with the murder of a Ukrainian woman and her mother, in a horrifying plot to kidnap a baby. Prosecutors assert that the motive stemmed from their long-unfulfilled wish for a daughter, showcasing the extremes to which they would go to fulfill their desires.
The couple allegedly met their victim through a Telegram group for Ukrainian refugees, where the wife offered help to the pregnant woman for translation, leading to a sinister plan to abduct the baby.
After sedating the victims during a shared meal, the couple misled them under the pretense of seeking medical assistance. Subsequently, they committed brutal acts, leading to the tragic deaths of both women.
Following the abductions, the couple attempted to deceive authorities by claiming that the mother had suffered a heart attack, yet their horrific actions were uncovered leading to their subsequent arrest.
