Overview
- Gendarmes found two newborns in a laundry-room freezer in Aillevillers-et-Lyaumont after a family member alerted police to one body.
- The 50-year-old was arrested near Paris and told investigators she gave birth at home, then immediately wrapped and placed the infants in the freezer.
- Investigators estimate the births occurred between 2011 and 2018, and forensic autopsies were conducted Friday to determine timing and cause of death.
- Authorities report she concealed the pregnancies from relatives and friends, and forensic psychologists will evaluate her mental state.
- She faces suspicion of murdering a minor under 15, which can carry a life sentence in France, while her partner remains in custody without charges and maintains he knew nothing.
