The Romb Couple, Serial Baby-Killers – Denmark, 1909


FULL TEXT (translated from German): In Copenhagen (Denmark) the couple Romb were recently arrested for angel-making. The inhuman couple, for a one-time compensation of 50 kroner, took care of little children as if they were their own, but who shortly afterwards suddenly died. It seems the little creatures were literally starved to death. It seems they have eliminated 20 children in this way.

FULL TEXT: In Kopenhagen (Dänemark) wurde kürzlich das Ehepaar Romb wegen Engelmacherei ver haftet. Das entmenschte Paar nahm gegen eine einmalige Ent schädigung von 50 Kronen kleine Kinder in Pflege oder als eigene an, die dann stets schnell und kürzlich starben. Wie es scheint, mußten die kleinen Wesen buchstäblich verhungern. Es sollen gegen 20 Kinder auf diese Weise beseitigt worden sein.
