FRANCE: Prosecutor provides details of how a mother chose to hide the bodies of her three dead babies

French police have discovered the bodies of three babies hidden in boxes in a house in eastern France, a judicial source said on Thursday (August 23). 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. "She was afraid that he would find the bodies so she was taking them out from the freezer and she was putting them in bags and then putting them in the basement or hiding them somewhere in the kitchen. She kept moving them in bags from different locations in freezers and in the basement....that explains why the first born in 2001 was covered with 12 bags one on top of the other." said the state Prosecutor Henri Michel Perret. The case is reminiscent of the so-called "Seoul freezer babies" story, which made headlines in France last year.
