  • 14 years ago
A French mother admitted killing eight newborn babies on Thursday, as a shocked nation struggled to digest the latest grisly tragedy of village life. Dominique Cottrez, a nursing assistant in her forties, was charged with the murder of the babies while her husband denied any knowledge of the deaths, official said. In the pair's quiet village of Villers-au-Tertre in northern France, stunned residents put flowers and candles outside the two houses where police had found the skeletal remains over the previous few days.Duration: 01:40
