GERMANY   –  A woman aged 45 has admitted involvement in the deaths of eight newborn babies whose corpses were found in a house in the southern state of Bavaria last year.

Andrea G’s lawyer told a court in Coburg that she had wrapped the babies up in towels and hidden them whether they showed signs of life or not. The bodies were found in plastic bags in a house in the town of Wallenfels. The woman’s ex-husband, 55, has also gone on trial accused of complicity. Andrea G is charged with the deaths of four of the eight children, due to the bad state of decomposition of some of the other bodies.
