French police have discovered the bodies of three babies hidden in boxes in a house in eastern France, a judicial source said yesterday. The 36-year-old mother of the children, who were born in 2001, 2003 and 2006 and all died shortly after birth, admitted on Wednesday she tried to hide them and was held for questioning, as was her 40-year-old partner.
The case is under investigation.
Her partner discovered the first two bodies on Wednesday in a state of decomposition in plastic bags inside the boxes. He alerted the police and told them he was not aware the woman had given birth to the babies.
The mother said she hid the bodies in different places, including a freezer, to avoid being discovered and brought them with her when they moved house a year ago.
