Then the police came forward and four more corpses were discovered, on one of which were distinct traces of the skull having been battered in. Consequently Sknblinalei and the other women were arrested. All the little corpses were taken to the hospital, and it was proved that they had died a violent death. Their age could riot be decided on, although none of them appeared to be older than six , weeks. GOMM for ten to fifteen children were made by a carpenter.
