Gave birth in the bathroom and left the child. 23-year-old charged.

In July 2024, a tragic incident occurred in Białystok, where a 23-year-old woman is accused of killing her newborn. Initially charged with infanticide due to the circumstances of childbirth, the prosecution later upgraded the charge to murder with intent after evidence revealed she sought ways to terminate her pregnancy. The woman concealed her pregnancy and did not seek medical care, instead searching online for drugs to induce labor. She gave birth in a bathroom and left the newborn, who died from asphyxiation. Her partner faces charges for failing to assist the child. The newborn could have survived with proper medical care. The woman faces life imprisonment if convicted, while her partner could receive up to five years.
