In the Munich Regional Court the trial of Alexandra S. has begun. She is accused of having killed her two children straight after their birth, reports Die Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper. According to the prosecutor, the 39 year old retail clerk let her 1995 and 2009-born children die immediately after birth, when she left them totally without care.

Alexandra S. refused to comment on the charges brought against her.
