In the Rivne region, a 35-year-old resident of the village of Sobischytsy, who strangled her newborn daughter after giving birth, is planned to be placed on compulsory psychiatric treatment.
This was reported to the regional prosecutor’s office.
The tragedy occurred in July 2025, when a late-term pregnant woman gave birth at home and did not seek medical help.
After the investigation, the law enforcement officers and the prosecutor’s office appealed to the court with a request to apply coercive measures of a medical nature to her.
According to the investigation, the woman in labor was carrying her third child and carefully concealed the pregnancy even from her closest relatives. Previously, she had already been deprived of parental rights for her two older children, which was also taken into account during the investigation.
The police found the body of a newborn girl in her mother’s house – the baby was lying without signs of life, covered with a blanket on the bed.
A forensic examination determined that the child died of mechanical asphyxiation caused by a lack of oxygen.
The women announced suspicion of the mother’s murder of her newborn child under Article 117 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and chose a preventive measure in the form of detention. Now she is in a pre-trial detention center and is awaiting a court decision regarding further treatment.
We will remind, in Zhytomyr, a 15-year-old woman in labor left her child near the garbage cans.
Also in the USA, a woman gave birth to a healthy child from an embryo conceived 30 years ago.
