A 45-year-old woman who was arrested after eight babies were found dead at an apartment in Germany has made a "partial confession", police said on Saturday.

• Mother jailed for killing her five newborns (21 Mar 13)

• Mum accused of throwing baby in bin (02 Dec 11)

• Young mother confesses to killing her newborn (14 Jan 11)

The woman had been detained on Friday, suspected of killing the children, police in the southern state of Bavaria said in a statement.

The woman said she was the mother of some of the babies, and admitted to killing some of them, the dpa news agency reported, citing a police spokesperson.

The woman's partner, 55, who had been arrested at the same time, has been cleared and set free, police said.

The investigation is ongoing and an autopsy is to be performed on the babies.

Police in the small town of Wallenfels were alerted Thursday by a resident who found an infant's body in the apartment.

When officers arrived at the apartment they uncovered several other bodies, wrapped in hand towels and placed in plastic bags.

Germany has seen several infanticide cases in recent years.

In May, a woman was sentenced to 44 months in prison for killing two of her children and hiding them in a freezer.

In October 2013, also in Bavaria, construction workers found the bodies of two babies who had been dead since the 1980s.

And in 2008, a 42-year-old woman was convicted of killing eight of her newborn babies, then hiding their bodies in buckets, flower pots and an old fish tank.

Collectively speaking, the once Christian West and America have lost their conscience. Who but conscienceless monsters behead babies and vivisect their bodies as Planned Parenthood does or throw borders open to invading armies of terrorist-infiltrated Muslims as Western leaders do?

Germans have a thing for killing helpless people. Today’s Jews have Uzis, so they go to the next best thing.

I have concluded that there is some instinct buried deep in the reptilian brain of homo sapiens that allows women to kill their children if the perceive lack of necessary resources to raise the baby.
