Court-ordered procedure against mother initiates for twin babies in Saxony-Anhalt - Commission to launch new directive drafting process for safeguarding workers from ionizing radiation hazards.

In a heart-wrenching case, a 30-year-old woman from Wittenberg, Saxony-Anhalt, stands accused of manslaughter by omission for the death of her newborn twins. The tragic incident has sparked significant public interest and legal debate, focusing on the question of criminal responsibility through neglect.

The trial, taking place in the Regional Court, has scheduled eight trial dates extending until the end of September. The location of the trial, initially unspecified, has now been confirmed to be in Dessau-Roßlau, Saxony-Anhalt.

The prosecution alleges that the defendant's failure to act led to the twins' deaths due to a lack of oxygen. An autopsy of the baby girls revealed that they were still alive at the time of birth, further emphasising the gravity of the situation.

The woman is said to have hidden her pregnancy, and the incident took place in her apartment in Wittenberg. Reports suggest that she urgently needed medical attention and was taken to a hospital by emergency services hours before the bodies were found. After discovery, she was taken into custody.

Prior to this incident, the woman had one or more known pregnancies, which are being considered in the trial. There may be scrutiny on how those pregnancies were managed and whether there was any history of neglect or insufficient care.

This case serves to highlight how omission (failure to act) can be legally equated with causing harm or death, under specific conditions. The trial proceedings, outcomes, and legal analysis will undoubtedly provide valuable insights into this complex area of law.

As the trial unfolds, updates on the case's progress will be reported to keep the public informed.
