The bodies of seven dead babies have been found in an apartment in the southern German state of Bavaria, police said, adding that they wanted to question a 45-year-old woman who was the previous tenant of the property.
Police were alerted by another woman who found the body of a baby in the apartment in the town of Wallenfels near the border with the Czech Republic on Thursday afternoon, they said in a statement.
Police found six more bodies in the flat after a search.
Investigators will hold a news conference on the incident later on Friday.
The results of forensic tests are expected early next week.
