The bodies of seven dead babies have been found at a house in Germany.
Initial reports said a doctor had found the bodies, however it is now believed a local woman discovered one baby and called the police.
Police then found the remains of several others in another room of the property in Wallenfels, northern Bavaria, which is close to the Czech border.
Police said in a statement they believe there were seven dead babies found in the apartment, the bodies are now being examined by forensic experts.
They added that the forensic exams are likely to take "some time" given the "poor condition" of some of the bodies, with results not being expected until next week.
Officers said they have so far been unable to locate and interview a former resident of the property, who was a 45-year-old woman, but are questioning several other people.
It is not clear how long the babies have been dead or who was living at the “residential estate” at the time they were discovered.
Earlier today, Bavaria police confirmed finding the "remains of dead infants".
Officials from the police special operations team have started an investigation in close co-operation with the Coburg Public Prosecuter. They are also being supported by forensic experts.
