webfact Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Five children found dead in German flat Police officers are seen at the entrance of a residential building where the bodies of five children were found in the western town of Solingen, Germany, September 3, 2020. REUTERS/Thilo Schmuelgen SOLINGEN (Reuters) - German police have found the bodies of five children in an apartment in the western town of Solingen and their mother, who is suspected of their murder, tried to kill herself, police said on Thursday. Police received a tip-off at 1.45 p.m. (1145 GMT) that five children were dead in the apartment in Solingen, police spokesman Stefan Weiand said. "Unfortunately, this proved to be the case," Weiand added. "At the moment, we assume that the 27-year-old mother was responsible." "The mother threw herself in front of a train in Duesseldorf and is badly injured. At the moment she is being treated in hospital," he added. "There is one more child that survived." Police were trying to find out the background to the tragedy. Earlier, mass-selling newspaper Bild reported in its online edition that the children's grandmother had called police to tell them that her daughter had killed five of her children and was out of her home with a further child. The police then found the dead children, aged 1, 2, 3, 6 and 8, Bild said, adding that a further child - an 11-year-old son - was found unharmed at the grandmother's home.

Thorgal Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Educating 3 youngsters that can go to school all alone is very hard to do as a young mother. Imagine she had to do this with 3 more kids aged 1, 2 and 3 with little or no help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
