Two babies have tragically died after falling from the tenth floor of a building as their mother was recording a live stream on Facebook.
The twins, who celebrated their second birthday in July, were at home with their mother’s friend, Alina, who was meant to be keeping an eye on them.
Moise Cristian Petrice and Beatrice-Erica Petrice, plummeted from the flats and it is being reported both mum and baby-sitting friend have different versions of the tragic event.
Mum, Andreea Violeta Petrice, was live streaming and the sounds of sirens could be reportedly heard in the background.
However, the Facebook stream abruptly stopped after a person could be heard loudly banging on the apartment door
The incident happened in Ploiesti, a city in the eastern Romanian county of Prahova some 56 kilometres (35 miles) from the capital Bucharest, according to Mirror Online.
However, speaking on Romanian chat show Access Direct on August 18, the mum and her friend had two different versions of events - and they launched serious allegations at each other regarding what happened that night.
Andreea claimed she was sleeping in another room with her eldest son because he was extremely aggressive towards the twins, while Alina kept an eye on the two babies.
The mum said she later went to check on the twins and discovered they were missing, noting that their usually tidy room was a complete mess with upturned furniture and nappies scattered all over the room.
The window was also open and Andreea accused her friend of being involved in the twins’ death, saying the mattress was off the bed and on the floor and that she does not think her two-year-old twins would have been able to remove it themselves.
According to Romanian news outlet Spy News, the young girl, Beatrice, had a health problem that affected her right foot, making it impossible for her to walk properly, and it has been speculated that she would not have been able to climb on the table or on the bed on her own.
The mother also accused Alina of having taken illegal substances at the time of the tragic incident.
The woman was taken to hospital where it was revealed that she had not taken any illegal drugs, according to Spy News.
The twins’ mother shared a heart-wrenching TikTok video showing her putting flowers on the twins’ graves, which feature crosses bearing the names of the twins.
She has reportedly been receiving psychiatric care after the tragic incident.
Alina said that she took extremely good care of her friend’s kids, and that she even wanted to become a full-time nanny.
She said Andreea suggested she babysit the twins, adding that she looks after them so often her own children have become a secondary consideration.
Alina, meanwhile, has claimed that Andreea was a careless mother.
The police investigation into the incident is ongoing.
