Bodies of 7 ‘babies’ found in apartment
Print Edition
THE bodies of what are believed to be seven babies have been found at an apartment in a Bavarian town, German police said yesterday.
A local woman contacted emergency services after finding one body on Thursday afternoon at the apartment in Wallenfels, police said. Police then found several more bodies in a room at the apartment.
Police and prosecutors believe there were seven dead babies, police said in a statement. The bodies are being examined by forensic experts, but the examinations “will take some time in view of their poor condition, in some cases,” and results shouldn’t be expected before the beginning of next week, it added.
Authorities said forensic tests will also have to establish whether there are more than seven bodies, according to German media reports.
Authorities so far have been unable to find the former resident, a 45-year-old woman, but are questioning several other people, police said.
They added that she is being sought as the possible mother of the infants but wouldn’t say whether she is a suspect.
It was unclear how long the babies had been dead or who, if anyone, was living there at the time of the discovery.
Wallenfels has nearly 3,000 inhabitants and is located in a rural area of Bavaria.
