What a story to wake up to, this mother from Germany is being held by police after one of her three grown children tipped them off about three dead infants. Autopsies are being done to figure out how the children had died. The infants were found Sunday night in the town of Wenden, near Olpe.

The 44-year-old woman, who name was not released, was taken into custody on suspicion that she killed the children.

The woman, her 47-year-old husband, and three grown children — two sons, aged 18 and 22 and a 24-year-old daughter — have lived for years in the town.

Sadly this isn’t uncommon, a number of similar stories come out of Germany.

In February, police were called to a home in northern Germany where a dead infant was discovered in the cellar.

In January, a 28-year-old German woman was charged with manslaughter after the remains of three babies were discovered in her house and the home of a relative. That woman has denied killing the three babies.

Another woman was convicted of manslaughter in 2006 for killing eight of her newborn babies and burying them in flower pots and a fish tank in the garden of her parents’ home near the German-Polish border.

    pretty disgusting i think. i wonder why this is going on. and did they not get noticed sooner?

    one other case mentioned in the article pointed out one woman who hid 8 of her newborns in flower pots. did she give birth at home? either way how didn’t a neighbor or family member notice? those germans are fucked up.

  2. It seems a little odd that this is happening, though it does happen everywhere… Not just Germans are crazy…
