    Police have discovered the bodies of five babies in a house in southwestern France, a source close to the case has said.
    The body of a newborn was found in a thermal bag at the house in Louchats, near the city of Bordeaux, the source said.
    Officers later "discovered four more bodies of babies during their search".

    The source added that the four corpses were found in a freezer.The 40-year-old father was taken into custody while the 35-year-old mother was hospitalised, the source added. It was the father who initially found the bag containing the first corpse of a newborn baby early yesterday at the family home, the source close to the investigation told AFP.

    The mother apparently "gave birth at home alone", the source said, adding that she had been taken to a hospital in Bordeaux "for gynaecological and psychiatric examinations". The woman "at this stage does not appear to have a history of mental illness". Autopsies will be performed today to determine whether the babies were born alive, a source close to the case said.The couple has two daughters aged 13 and 15.

    What if they were still born ? Contacting the authorities is the correct procedure if that happens. But dealing with the dead bodies is up to the family.
