Judges heard how she had given birth at home in secret 10 months ago on September 12 and then dropped her baby daughter from her apartment window almost 12 feet onto the tarmac below.

It is reported that horrified passersby found the minutes-old infant’s body with a shattered skull underneath Jovanovic’s balcony and called the police. According to ASB Zeitung, Jovanovic admitted to the crime at the beginning of the trial in April but could not explain the moment to the court.

She also claimed she had not realised she was pregnant. But the prosecution accused her of murder and of deliberately concealing her pregnancy from colleagues and neighbours. Prosecutors told the court that Jovanovic thought being a mother would spoil her career as an executive in Porsche’s legal department.

Public prosecutor Mareike Hafendoerfer said: ‘The accused was not prepared to put her life plans, especially her professional advancement, on hold for a child.
That was her decision when the baby was born, and as a result, the criteria for a murder conviction are fulfilled.’
