Shocking in France: The bodies of two babies discovered in a refrigerator, arrested a woman

According to an AFP source, a man contacted the gendarmerie Tuesday after discovering the body of a newborn in a refrigerator at his house in Ailvilleers-et-Lyaumont, a municipality in Haute-Saone on the edge of Vosga.

At the scene, the gendarmerie then found the body of a second baby.

According to the first reports of the investigation, doubts focus on the mother, who had left the house unannounced.

She was arrested at around 0100 in Boulogne-Billancourt, in the Paris region on Wednesday. According to another source, one of the sons of the woman lives there.

She is already a mother of nine children in all, by two marriages.

At Aillevilleers-at-Lyaumont, the safety strips were visible in the roles of a light-coloured and open-door apartment, an AFP photographer noted.

Mayor Aillevilleers-et-Lyaumont, Jean-Claude Tramese, explained to AFP that police had contacted him to say they would block the road Tuesday by 18:00 and throughout the night.

He expressed “inverse” after learning they had discovered bodies.

This is a small village of 1,500 people. We always think that these things happen in other people's homes... We are stunned”, he commented.

For the couple, Tramesel explained that “are people who have been living in the municipality for about 20 years, but don't work here. They're people who don't make any noise”.

The investigation is being conducted jointly by the Lure Research Brigade and the Besanchon Research Section.

Given the criminal nature of the facts, Vesola's prosecution gave up competencies Thursday, passing the case to Besanchon prosecution.
