Baby found in freezer was alive
06/05/2008 19:31  - (SA)   


Siegen - An autopsy that began on Tuesday in Germany on three girl babies found dead in a home freezer showed that at least one of the newborns had been born alive, raising the likelihood that the mother will face homicide charges.

Prosecutors in the city of Siegen said pathologists had established that the infant had been "viable", not stillborn.

The mother, 44, who was being held in a prison hospital wing, was described on Tuesday as distressed. Police said they would not begin questioning her till cleared to do so by doctors.

The woman lived with her 47-year-old electrician husband and three children aged 18 to 24 in a detached house in the quiet village of Wenden, east of Cologne. Neighbours described the family as polite and reserved.

A son found the three tiny bodies in the family freezer when he and his sister cleared out old food past its use-by date while the parents were away for the weekend. The family turned the mother in to police.

The infant bodies were found wrapped in bloodstained towels and covered with newspapers, one dated December 1988.

The autopsy in the city of Dortmund found no sign of external injury or malformation on the first baby checked. Tissue samples were taken for toxicological tests later. Autopsies on the other two bodies would proceed on Wednesday. - Sapa-dpa

How the hell can a person, a mother for that matter, do something like that?  I know some animals eat their young, so the only conclusion I can come to is that these "people" are not people at all - they must be animals to do things like this.
Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier. Friendship is a sheltering tree.

To be clever enough to get a great deal of money, one must be stupid enough to want it.

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of other cannot keep it from themselves.

Some really sick people out there. It's interesting that you mention the animals, Dalene. Animal mothers have some kind of built in instinct. After giving birth they can sense if one of the babies has some kind of defect and they kill it there and then to spare it a life of misery.

The woman in this article managed to hide the 3 pregnancies from her friends and family. People who knew her said that she was always a bit chubby and didn't think anything was wrong.
