During her hearing, the woman also admitted to assaulting a woman and abducting her newborn baby, posing as a social worker.
She explained “having suffered a miscarriage which she then concealed from those around her”.
"Cornered by her lies and various stratagems she had found no other solution than to abduct a newborn child who could physically correspond to that which was expected", explains the prosecution.
Spotted after her second assault by witnesses who had rescued the mother, she was found on July 3 by the police with the newborn baby, specifies the vice-prosecutor of Lorient.
The police reconciled the two facts because she "responded to the report of the woman who attacked Mr. Wissa, who was also the father of a little girl of a few weeks", a child whom she denies having attempted to abduct.
She was indicted on charges of "attempted murder, kidnapping and attempted kidnapping of a person under the age of 15, home invasion and violence with a weapon," said the prosecution.
