German woman killed four of her babies at home

A 45-year-old German woman has been found guilty of the manslaughter of four of her newborn babies. Their bodies were found at her apartment in a Bavarian town.

Eight babies’ bodies were found last year at the apartment in the town of Wallenfels, but prosecutors concentrated their case on proving her involvement in the death of four.

The Coburg state court yesterday sentenced the woman, whose name was not released, to 14 years in prison. The father, who had been charged as an accessory, was acquitted.
