She killed her three-week-old baby because she thought her husband loved her more than she did.

The picture was heartbreaking. A 26-year-old man residing in Rivne, Ukraine, had left his apartment to leave his trash in the street. But when he came back, he found a pool of blood. His wife had killed his three-week-old baby in an alleged fit of jealousy.

As the British Daily Mail newspaper explains, the 21-year-old woman sliced ​​her daughter's throat with a knife. Desperate, the girl's father called the emergency service, but nothing could be done: she was dead.

When the police arrived at the house, they found the murder weapon in the kitchen. The knife lay in the bacha and was still stained with blood.

"The mother could not explain why she had done it, she could not even remember what she had done that day," said spokesman Anton Kruk. In turn, they claimed to have done a psychiatric badessment to the abuser because they wanted to check if she was blameless.

The paternal grandmother of the victim, Maria Momot, claimed that her daughter-in-law was jealous of the baby. "I thought her husband loved her more than her," he said in an interview.

Although the identity of the murderer could not be disseminated, due to legal problems, the authorities explained his medical history. Last November, doctors diagnosed meningoencephalitis. At that time, she was already pregnant and had to be monitored because the inflammation in her brain was very dangerous. Now, they suspect that the disease could have affected their mental health.
