Charges due against German woman accused of killing toddlers
Stockholm - A German woman who was extradited to Sweden on suspicion of beating two young children to death will likely face charges next week, a police spokesman said Thursday.
Vasteras police spokesman Borje Stromberg told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa that the prosecutor was slated to present the charges on Wednesday but was not sure when the trial will begin.
Stromberg said the police have concluded their interviews with the suspect.
The woman, a student, was extradited to Sweden end of April after an attack on a 23-year-old woman and her children, aged one and three, on March 17 in the small town of Arboga.
The Swedish mother survived the attack and has since been discharged from hospital. She told Swedish media her hearing is impaired and one eye was injured.
The German woman, 32, has been held in Vasteras, 100 kilometres west of Stockholm. (dpa)
