DOUAI/PARIS (Reuters) - A 47-year-old French woman confessed to suffocating eight new-born children and hiding her babies' bodies, a prosecutor said on Thursday, in what experts declared as the country's worst recorded case of infanticide.
The woman and her husband, also in his forties, were detained on Tuesday when the bodies were found wrapped in plastic bags at two homes in Villers-au-Tertre, a village of about 650 people 200 km (120 miles) north of Paris.
