Overview
- A relative tidying a freezer in Aillevillers-et-Lyaumont found a newborn’s body, prompting police to uncover a second infant in the same appliance.
- The suspect, a woman in her 50s, was arrested in Boulogne-Billancourt and transferred to Haute-Saône for questioning.
- Prosecutors say she admitted being the mother, described home births, and said she wrapped the newborns and placed them in the freezer sometime between 2011 and 2018.
- Investigators report she concealed pregnancies from those around her and that her partner told police he was unaware of the births.
- The Lure Criminal Investigation Brigade and Besançon Criminal Investigation Section are leading the probe, with autopsies scheduled Friday and prosecutors seeking her remand in custody.
