Neonaticide is a rare form of homicide. It is generally classed as manslaughter but differs from other forms of homicide in many respects. The factors favouring its occurrence and the legal position of neonaticide in Germany are discussed. The case is presented of a mother who committed five neonaticides within 8 years. While she was a caring mother for her two oldest children, she killed the five subsequent offspring immediately after giving birth. In the scarce literature on neonaticides, a case of multiple offending is particularly rare. Similarities to, and differences from, other cases of neonaticide in the literature are considered. The psychodynamic context of the offences is examined in order to identify contributing features which could be used to help prevent future occurrences.
新生儿杀婴是一种罕见的杀人形式。它通常被归类为过失杀人，但在许多方面与其他杀人形式不同。本文讨论了促使其发生的因素以及德国新生儿杀婴的法律地位。文中介绍了一位母亲在8年内实施了5起新生儿杀婴行为的案例。虽然她是其两个最大孩子的关爱母亲，但她在分娩后立即杀死了随后的5个孩子。在关于新生儿杀婴的稀少文献中，多次犯罪的案例尤为罕见。文中考虑了与文献中其他新生儿杀婴案例的异同。对这些犯罪行为的心理动力学背景进行了研究，以确定有助于预防未来此类事件发生的相关特征。
