A 38-year-old woman went on trial on Monday in northwest France, accused of killing six of her newborns and hiding the corpses in bags in her basement. Celine Lesage faces life in prison if convicted by the jury in the courthouse in Valognes, near the Atlantic coast, on charges of aggravated homicide. She was arrested in 2007 after her partner at the time discovered the corpses in plastic garbage bags in the basement of their apartment building in Valognes. The babies were born between 2000 and 2007. She told investigators that the father of five of the newborns was an ex-boyfriend, who was detained for questioning after she was arrested in 2007. She said the father of the sixth newborn was the partner who discovered the corpses.

French Woman 'Murdered Newborn Babies And Hid Corpses In Cellar'
Daily Telegraph
A French mother on Monday stood trial for murdering six of her newborn babies in almost as many years and hiding their corpses in a cellar. Céline Lesage, 38, faces life in prison for "aggravated homicide" after allegedly choking four babies by placing her finger in their mouths, and strangling two others who were "more vivacious" with a cord. She secretly delivered the babies alone between August 2000 and September 2007, putting "the babies and their dirty clothes neatly in a sealed plastic bag and (hiding) them," according to Michel Garrandaux, the Cherbourg prosecutor. "Her attitude was wholly ambivalent. On the one hand, she expressed her desire to have children, and then she refused to keep them," Mr Garrandaux added. Wearing a beige dress and with her brown hair tied back, Miss Lesage told the court in the Channel port of Cherbourg: "I admit to the charges."
