Gmünd/Krems – A 25-year-old mother appeared in court in Krems on Wednesday for negligent homicide. The Czech citizen’s five-year-old son is said to have gotten hold of a lighter in the family’s apartment in Gmünd in April and lit it while the accused was sleeping after consuming drugs the day before. The boy and his one-year-old brother inhaled fumes and died. “I don’t feel guilty,” said the defendant. The presumption of innocence applies.
