Dr. Marianne Türk sentenced to ten years' imprisonment at the People's Court. Information on the outcome for Dr. Margarethe Heubsch has not yet been located by this editor.

At least two other women were tried as participant in the child murder conspiracy: Dr. Margaret Nicely was acquitted and the nurse Anna Katschenka to eight years in prison.

Decades following the trials of the late 1940s, “The Child murders at Spiegelgrund” was back in the news. It has been discovered that the dismembered bodies murdered by the eugenics doctors had been not only kept but had been continued to be used for medical experiments by the institution in which the crimes had taken place.

Public outcry finally resulted in the treatment of the remains of 600 of the tiny victims of the medical serial killers. There were buried in a grave of honor at the Vienna Central Cemetery April 2002.
