BERLIN, Germany (CNN) -- Police have discovered the bodies of three dead babies in a freezer of a family home in western Germany, authorities said Monday.
Prosecutor's spokesman Johannes Daheim said their mother had been arrested, The Associated Press reported, but her name had not been released.
He did not say how old they were or what the cause of death was, AP reported. However, police told CNN that the babies appeared to have died shortly after birth.
The bodies were found in a freezer in the cellar of a house in the city of Wenden in North Rhine-Westphalia by officers acting on a tip-off.

More information about the incident, including whether anyone has been charged, was expected to be released at a news conference later Monday, AP reported.
The case follows several recent similar instances in Germany, according to the agency.
In February, police were called to a home in northern Germany where a dead infant was discovered in the cellar, and the previous month a woman was charged with manslaughter after the remains of three babies were discovered in her house and the home of a relative -- she denied killing the children.
Another woman was convicted of manslaughter in 2006 for killing eight of her babies in eastern Germany.

Why do they keep killing babies in Germany? Nobody got birth control there? I guess somebody need to tell the Germans that killing your babies is not a form of birth control.
