A WOMAN has been arrested after police found SEVEN DEAD BABIES stuffed in cardboard boxes at her old house.
Megan Huntsman was detained after officers were called to a house near Salt Lake City, Utah.
Huntsman is reported to have given birth to the children between 1996 and 2006.
Police were alerted to the horrific situation after receiving a call from her estranged husband about a dead infant at the house.
Huntsman, who left the house three years ago, has been charged with murder.
Officers arriving at the house found the body of a “newborn infant which appeared to be full term”.
“A search warrant was obtained for the residence and during the execution of the warrant, officers discovered six additional infant bodies,” a spokesman for Pleasant Grove Police said.
“Each infant was found packaged in separate containers.”
The remains have been sent to a medical examiner’s office for tests to determine the cause of death.
DNA samples from the suspect and her husband have been taken to prove for certain the two are the parents of the dead children.
