Belgian mother suspected of manslaughter more than ten years after the death of two babies

A 35-year-old woman is under investigation for the alleged manslaughter of her two deceased children and attempted manslaughter of her third child. Her first daughter died at seven months in 2014, followed by her son at 25 days in 2015, both initially deemed non-suspicious. After these tragedies, she spoke publicly about her children's genetic heart condition. In March 2025, her third child was hospitalized with respiratory issues, prompting further investigation into the circumstances surrounding the previous deaths. The third child was conceived via IVF using her partner's egg, raising questions about the genetic condition's inheritance. The woman is currently under house arrest while awaiting the investigation's outcome.
