Dad Finds Four Dead Babies In Freezer, Discovers Body Of 5th In Cooler Bag

Five dead babies were found in the home of a couple in south-west France.

Police made the macabre discovery after the father found the body of one newborn in a padded freezer bag at the house in Louchats, near Bordeaux. Officers then found the bodies of four more babies in a freezer in a utility room at the property. A source close to the investigation said the mother had apparently ‘given birth at home alone’ before killing her infants.

The 35-year-old woman had been taken to hospital for psychiatric and gynacological examinations, while the father, 40, had been taken into custody, the source said.

The source added: “At this stage it appears that the woman does have a history of mental illness.”
