The guilty woman, named as Doean K., had "taken it upon herself to decide over life and death", prosecutor Nadja Boettinger said during the trial. Also accused were her son, 22, and daughter, 19, as well as a 16-year-old cousin. The second woman, who was found alive, was badly injured and suffering from hypothermia and dehydration.
