Germany baby deaths: Mother admits deaths to eight newborns

A woman aged 45 has admitted involvement in the deaths of eight newborn babies whose corpses were found in a house in German Southern State of Bavaria last year.  

Andrea G's lawyer told a court in Germany  that she wrapped the babies up in towels and hid them whether they showed signs of life or not. 

The bodies were found in plastic bags. 

The woman's ex-husband, 55, has also gone on trial accused of complicity. 

Andrea G is charged with the deaths of four of the eight children, due to the bad state of decomposition of some of the other bodies.  

Prosecutors accuse the pair of "sexual selfishness, indifference and callousness" in their handling of successive pregnancies over a 10-year period from 2003.
