Five infants found dead in home in southern France, report says

The remains of five infants have been found in a home in Vaucluse in southern France, Le Figaro reports. Police found the remains in cardboard boxes, sources familiar with the investigation told the newspaper.

The home reportedly belongs to a couple living in the municipality of Orange, and the woman gave birth to a healthy baby on Monday. The prosecutor's office in Carpentras in Vaucluse does not want to comment on the information.

In February, a 50-year-old woman was arrested after two babies were found in her freezer in Haute-Saône in eastern France. The most serious French case of infanticide occurred in Hauts-de-France in the north of the country, where a woman was sentenced to nine years in prison in 2015, accused of killing eight babies.
