German police find decomposed remains of 3 babies

BERLIN, Mar 12 (Reuters) German police have found the badly decomposed remains of three babies and arrested a woman believed to be their mother, authorities in the eastern German state of Saxony Anhalt said today.

Examinations showed the bodies were apparently those of newborn children. State prosecutors will give further details on Monday, an official said.

Last year, police in the eastern state of Brandenburg found the remains of nine newborn babies buried in flower pots and buckets and arrested their mother.
