A Japanese woman suspected of abandoning the bodies of five of her own newborn babies over the course of a decade was being questioned Tuesday, police said.
Emi Wakabayashi, 34, who lives with her father, younger brother and first son, was initially arrested after police discovered the corpse of a newborn infant near their home in rural Ehime prefecture in western Japan.
The skeletal remains of four more infants were found in sealed plastic bags near her home on Monday, a police official told AFP.
