Burial arranged for five drowned children

The five children allegedly drowned by their mother in Texas last week will be buried on Wednesday.

The children, aged between six-months and seven years, will be buried in Houston after their funerals.

Their 36-year-old mother Andrea Pia Yates is being held in Harris County Jail, charged with murder.

The children - Noah, seven, John, five, Paul, three, Luke, two, and six-month-old Mary - will be buried in Forest Park East Cemetery.

The children's father, Russell Yates, also 36, was at work at the Johnson Space Centre, where he is a computer engineer, at the time of the alleged murders.

He has supported his wife, saying she's been suffering post-natal depression.
