Woman Confesses to Killing Her 5 Newborns - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.

A 28 year old woman in Germany has confessed to killing five of her own newborn infants. She was worried that her husband would leave her if he found out that she had given birth to more children after already having two kids, ages 8 and ten. Thinking that having more children would disrupt their lifestyle, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

Police have been investigating the case of two dead infants since the first body was found in 2006, and another body was found in 2007. The woman began hiding the bodies at home, where authorities found three more dead infant remains in her basement.

Another German woman was found with the remains of three dead bodies of her own children in the cellar of her house and one in a rented garage. She claimed that the babies were still born, and has not been charged with a crime. But she is serving a six month prison sentence for fraud in an unrelated case.
