BERLIN,
June 1 (Xinhua) -- A German woman, who left nine of her 13 babies dead soon
after birth, was convicted on Thursday of manslaughter and sentenced to 15 years
in jail.
The state court in Frankfurt-an-der-Oder, on the
border with Poland, declined a prosecution request to find Sabine Hilschinz
guilty of murder, but convicted her on eight counts of manslaughter, German news
agency DPA reported.
One death happened too long ago to prosecute, the
report said.
The skeletons of the babies were found last year in
buckets, anold fish-tank and flower pots on balconies. Enditem
