Mönchengladbach (dpa / lnw) - The accused kindergarten teacher in the trial for the death of the daycare child Greta in Viersen in the Lower Rhine region is fully guilty according to an expert.
You could not find any evidence of a pathological personality disorder, said the forensic psychiatrist on Wednesday in the trial before the Mönchengladbach regional court.
At the meetings, the 25-year-old was turned towards, confident and very calm.
The defendant said she did not commit the crimes.
The German is accused of murdering the three-year-old girl.
She is said to have compressed his chest in Viersen in April 2020 until he stopped breathing.
The child died in hospital just under two weeks later.
The woman is also charged with mistreating persons in care in eight other cases.
Even in other daycare centers, she is said to have pressed the chests of children tightly, putting their lives at risk.
These cases only became known through the investigation after Greta's death.
In a letter read out on Wednesday from the detention center to her parents, the defendant asserted that she had never done anything to children.
"I'm not a monster," she wrote.

The expert reported on her observation that the defendant cried very tearfully, but did not appear shaken.
"The depth was missing," said the psychiatrist.
She does not want to rule out that the defendant had pulled the breath off little Greta as part of “an excessive punishment”.
In the daycare centers, the young woman was seen as unsuitable for the job.
In Viersen her probationary period was not extended.
The respiratory arrest of Greta occurred on the last working day of the 25-year-old there.
