The most important thing in short:
- On August 4, 2015, the St.Gallen Cantonal Police in Staad found the body of the child in the basement during a house search and arrested the parents.
- The Child and Adult Protection Authority (Kesb) Rorschach opened the investigation with a criminal complaint alleging breach of social protection and education obligations.
- Allegation of the prosecution: The accused did not feed their daughter appropriately and her movement was allowed. In addition, they neglected the medical care, physical hygiene and social contacts of the one – year – old girl. These negligence should ultimately have led to the death of the child.
- The prosecutor asks the 35-year-old mother for an unconditional 10.5-year sentence.
- For the 55-year-old father, 8 years of unconditional imprisonment is required.

And with the reading of the plea, the Chief Justice ends the trial today. A summary of the first day of the trial follows soon. We report to you live on Wednesday from the second day of the trial.
6:04 p.m.
The prosecution therefore demands the following penalty:
- An 8-year prison sentence for the accused father: deliberate murder, violation of due diligence and education, and multiple violations of the Narcotic Drugs Act.
- A prison sentence of 10.5 years for the accused mother: for violation of duty of care or education, intentional homicide, disruption of the death penalty, false accusation and multiple offenses under the Narcotics Act.
5:47 p.m.
The disturbance of the peace of death by the mother also thematizes the Attorney General. When the accused mother discovered the body, she left it and closed the manger door behind him, the prosecution said. "Out of sight out of mind." And instead of asking for help, she simply ignored the corpse and let it continue to rot. Next brought the 35-year-old girl on the corpse, especially out of disrespect, while she padded a few days later this case in a suitcase on wheels and hid in the basement . "She hid all this from her partner and the child's father, she only told him that she had entrusted the care of her granddaughter abroad to a friend." The body children were finally found during the August 4 home search.
5:35 p.m.
As the prosecution continued, the weakened little man died on July 3rd. During this period, outdoor temperatures above 33 degrees were measured. So it was also in the attic, where the bed was extremely hot. The toddler has collapsed in the episode and is dead. Due to high temperatures, the corpse decomposes rapidly.
5:25 p.m.
The parents reportedly continued not to consult a doctor for control visits with the child. "He immediately noticed the poor development of the child and could have reacted accordingly." The obligation to take care of her daughter has also harmed the accused many times, leaving the toddler often alone at home and not reacting to her crying or tapping. The bed was in the attic at that time. Moreover, by not staying with their daughter in the common space or going out with the baby, they neglected the freedom of movement and prevented a healthy motor development.
16:55 hours
The prosecutor is now talking about the violation of the obligation of care and education of parents. Even after the birth of her daughter, the defendants had not changed their lifestyle, as before, everything was focused on drug use. "Sleep and cokes were therefore the main occupation of both." The environment in which the toddler grew up was far from optimal. Not only was the girl locked up by everyone and everyone, but the advice of others was also rejected. In addition to drugs, parents' daily lives were also marked by arguments.
4:27 p.m.
In addition, the testimony of the accused parents is destructive and misleading. The fact that even the consumption of cocaine was not commented by the two witnesses of selfishness, adds the prosecutor. According to the statements of their former dealer, the fact that they used the drugs and spent the most money proves that in about two and a half years, they spent about 180,000 CHF on cocaine. Their drug use was so much in the foreground that they did not care about the well-being of their child, the prosecution said. "And even previous interviews with the accused mother show that there is a lack of interest in education at the death of a child."
4:10 p.m.
The prosecutor says: The prosecution accepts the claims listed in the indictment. However, the statements of the accused mother regarding infant nutrition are not credible and are seen as a simple request for protection. In addition, the date of death is July 3 and not June 26, as claimed by the respondent. The child was born healthy in St. Gallen. So how did it happen that this child's body was found in a state of decomposition and mummification? For prosecutors, this proves that the accused have something to hide.
The prosecution wishes to obtain answers to the following questions:
- How is it possible that the accused parents lived for days alongside the corpse?
- How did the toddler live?
- Who provided the child?
- When, where and how is this girl dead?
15:51 hours
This continues in the process. Now the prosecutor speaks and makes his call.
3:37 p.m.
The Chief Justice dismisses the accused from the witness stand. This is followed by a 30 minute break, at the end of which the prosecutor will make his plea.
3:36 p.m.
After questioning the judges, the defense also asks some questions to the accused. This is how she wants to know how she looked after her daughter. The 35-year-old woman describes in detail what the child was able to eat and how she looked after the little one. When asked how she put the child in the bag, she replied, "I folded the corners of the mattress and then fooled my daughter. Later, I went out again and put on her clothes because I thought she was cold. "
3:25 p.m.
One of the present judges asks some follow-up questions, such as the date of the girl's death, the status of relations with other children and what she thinks of Kesb. The defendant partially answers the questions in a contradictory manner and is particularly distracted by the authority. "They only caused me problems and did not place my kids optimally."
3:05 p.m.
At the end of her examination, the Chief Justice wants to know from the accused what she wants for the future? "Settle in and trust my daughter – I can not do this until today," the 35-year-old answers today.

2:55 p.m.
The defendant, but also the accused mother, reads to the judge extracts of recorded sound recordings. The statements seem clear, but the 35-year-old player does not want to remember it. "My partner talks all day, I can not say anything."
Finally, the judge wants to know when she saw the child alive for the last time. "June 25th." She found the dead child on June 26 in the morning. The girl was cold and had blue nails, the bottle of milk was always full. The judge wants to know more and asks why she was not helped after the death of her daughter. In tears, she said: "I was scared and I was panicked.I was just scared of the authorities, the kesb … I was afraid of having failed in as a mother. "
2:39 p.m.
After the accused continues to talk about family life and how she has looked after her newborn daughter, the judge addresses the topic of cocaine. He wants to know from the accused when she started using the drug and how it was possible that later on, the dead child would contain traces of the drug. Even after repeated investigations, the 35-year-old does not want to comment. When asked how she felt about cocaine today, she replied, "I have been clean for quite some time.
2:29 p.m.
The judge then wants to know what she says about her mother's allegations. She said the newborn girl was underdeveloped and poorly cared for. The defendant replies to the judge: "This is not true, my mother has invented something else, sometimes we are like dogs and cats, sometimes we get along, sometimes not."
2:17 p.m.
After a while, she became pregnant again and gave birth to a girl, the defendant said. When asked how the accused lived after the birth of the child, she replied, "Before I was born, I was still cooking for my partner today. we had a clear separation of duties.I am just not the mistress of the house, because my mother was dressed behind me. "She then describes the daily routine with the child. She had gone for a walk with her daughter and, with her, had taken her 55-year-old father to work.
2:00 p.m.
In addition, the 35-year-old woman recounts her ex-husband's quarrel with his new partner. "I could not stand the violence and moved to my current partner." She had shared custody of the children with her ex-husband, "because Kesb wanted it so." But one day, when she wanted to pick up the children in kindergarten, she would have been refused. "The Kesb just put my children in charge of others."
1:53 p.m.
The defendant added that, while she was dating her ex-husband, she had formed a relationship with a woman and had finally moved in with her. Her two children, a son and a daughter, would have taken her away. The judge then wants to know how she met the defendant. She answers, "One night, the phone rang and I wanted to come in. Then I left." From this phone call, she and the accused formed a couple.
1:47 p.m.
In Switzerland, she met her ex-husband with whom she had two children, explained the defendant. He would have married her to get rid of the help and not stay in Switzerland. She herself would have continued working as a prostitute in Switzerland. "Since my ex-husband was a serious alcoholic, he applauded the money I earned."
1:36 p.m.
The judge wants to know firsthand how the accused is doing today. She answers, "Not very good." She then talks about her happy childhood in Germany. Like the first time that she became a mother at the age of 15 years. This child then stayed with the father, "because of prostitution". Then she moved to Switzerland.

With follow-up questions from other judges, the interrogation of 55 years is over and he is released from the witness stand. The process is interrupted by a break of one hour.
11:47
After the examination of the main judge, the other judges present also ask the defendant complementary questions. For many, it avoids, gives confused answers or even denies the statement.
11:29
The judge concludes the investigation and returns on the consumption of cocaine. He repeatedly asks the accused to consume the drug. The 55-year-old woman denies and denies the statement again. Nor is it true that he has daily withdrawn from the bank, the accused, money intended for consumption.
11:21
At the time, he did not think for a second that his daughter was dead, says the defendant. Not even when the mother gave him the necklace of toddlers. "I thought she was hiding our daughter somewhere outside the kesb and she's fine." It was only later that he learned from the police that the child had been found dead in the house.
11:08
The judge wants to know how he learned about the death of his daughter. "I was at the Raiffeisenbank counter when my partner on the phone said that Kesb had taken our daughter with us," he says. When he was home, he had entered the room directly and discovered the empty bed. Even the mattress was not there, it surprised him. "I then confronted my partner."
She said that the girl was with a friend and probably was standing. He should not talk about it to Kesb because she has problems with authority. She was afraid that the kesb would come and take their child. Then he did not answer.
10:59
After the police found the body of the child during a house search in August, the homes of the accused parents had been tapped. The judge reads to the accused various excerpts from a protocol. On uncomfortable issues, the accused has refused the statement several times or does not remember.
10:50
During the hearing, the judge establishes a connection between the accused and his two children. "Although they were entrusted to my partner's ex-partner, they have always come to visit us," says the 55-year-old. He had no problem with the children, was like a stepfather for them. Even his daughter, who had just been born, would have accepted the children.
10:39

10:16
The ex-partner of the accused does not leave beautiful hair to the 55-year-old woman. There were various conflicts and threats. The weapons were also used. Not only was the ex-partner a thorn in his side, but the employment of the defendants did not suit him either. "Although they're a couple, she continued to prostitute themselves." When she finally got pregnant, he was surprised. At the birth of the child, the division of responsibilities was clear. He, the father, is busy with the house and went to work. She, the mother, is busy with the newborn.
10:05
In addition, the judge wants to know from the accused how he met the 35-year-old co-defendant. In addition, he states: "About her services, that she then offered."
