The Batumi City Court fully accepted the evidence presented by the prosecutor`s office and found the defendant guilty of the intentional murder of a newborn baby by its mother.

The evidence examined during the trial established that on February 22, in the restroom of one of the Batumi clinics, a nurse from the same clinic gave birth to a baby, after which, with the intent to kill the newborn, she inflicted life-threatening injuries on various parts of the body and placed it in a polyethylene bag intended for medical waste.

The newborn, who was in a life-threatening condition, was provided with emergency and complex medical care by the clinic`s medical staff, however, due to the severity of the injuries he sustained, he died on March 27 in the clinic`s intensive care unit.

The Batumi City Court found the defendant guilty of the charges brought under Article 112 of the Criminal Code of Georgia (intentional murder of a newborn child by a mother immediately after childbirth) and sentenced him to 4 years in prison.
