Berlin, Nov 15 (IANS) A German woman has admitted to police that she had killed "several" of her babies immediately after they were born.
The 45-year-old woman was arrested on Saturday as the possible mother of eight babies whose mortal remains were found in the home where she had lived in Bavaria state, Efe news agency reported.
The suspect who was sentenced to imprisonment without bail on suspicion of multiple murders, was located from the small town of Wallenfels where the little bodies were found wrapped in towels and plastic bags.
