The bodies of “probably seven” babies have been found in a flat.
There are mixed reports coming out at this stage, with some news outlets claiming a local woman found one of the corpses and called the police. Others state a doctor, who was visiting the house, found the first corpse before the police made the horrifying discovery.
“Officers found several bodies of infants,” a police spokesperson said. “The police and prosecutor ... believe that there are probably seven dead.”
It’s believed the police have yet to find the woman who lived in the apartment in Wallenfels, near the Czech border. It’s thought the woman who lived in the property is the mother of the children. She is now being sought by the authorities.
Another spokesperson added: “The babies have been found within the apartment. They had been covered in blankets and were packed in plastic bags. That’s how the seven dead bodies have been found, one after another.”
