    The accused told the court that after suffering a number of miscarriages and failed fertility treatment, they hatched a plan to kidnap a newborn girl and pass her off as their daughter.

    According to the public prosecutor’s office, the couple have a total of four children, including one son together. The 45-year-old woman and her 43-year-old husband are from Sandhausen, near Heidelberg.

    These sick fucks already had more than enough kids and still did this. I can’t express my level of disgust at these two with text. Thank fuck for the following:

    the pair are unlikely to be released even after 15 years in prison

    Rot in prison, separated from each other. It wasn’t even on a whim but actually planned with several steps that I will not write here in case someone doesn’t want to ruin their day.

      Honestly, I feel bad for all the kids involved. Can you imagine their kids growing up knowing that they weren’t enough to the point where their parents would murder for another? They were probably viewed as commodities. And that poor little girl. Her family did all this to get her a safer, more stable life, and now she’s worse off for it. The whole situation is disturbing. I wonder what is wrong with these people.

        Me too. I can’t imagine the horror learning what your parents did as well as the horror of the little girl learning later what happened to her mother and grandmother.

        Additionally: The article says that the sick couple met the two Ukrainians by joining a group to help refugees. This shows once again how vulnerable refugees are. They seek help, don’t often have a choice, and must trust the people helping them.
