Freezer Babies Mother Confesses to Killings |
||||||
However, AFP says that was in 1999, while the couples lawyer Marc Morin says he knows nothing about a third victim. Reuters quoted the Frenchwoman as saying she killed the babies because she did not want another child. Counsel to the couple told reporters in front of the Tours police station, where the case is being investigated, that Courjault had admitted to the charges but said she acted alone and without the knowledge of her husband, who reported finding the bodies in the freezer this year. The Courjaults have two other sons aged 10 and 11. The French public is shaken about the fact that she gave birth to the children only to immediately kill them, and the French press is continuing in-depth coverage of the case including interviews with psychiatrists and other experts to gain an insight into the mothers mind. Through the final weeks of her pregnancy with the twins, Courjault was able to hide the fact from her husband by wearing loose-fitting clothes, police quoted her as saying, and since her husband was often gone on business trips this was not difficult. If charged, Courjault could face life imprisonment. Veronique and Jean-Louis Courjault were taken into custody on Tuesday. Their two other children are being looked after by a family in the Tours area. Meanwhile, to add to the confusion, DPA reports that the two frozen corpses were not in fact twins, as first thought, but separate pregnancies in 2002 and 2003. |
Very-late-terms abortions...NOW press release forthcoming...
She should agt the same lawyer who got the Yates woman off.
Well, that makes it all right then.
Also, the French press has reported that investigators have gone (or are about to go) to South Korea to "assist" in the investigation.
Maybe we'll soon be hearing about a third set of DNA tests, this time carried out on samples taken directly from the children's bodies in South Korea by French investigators and tested in French laboratories ...
