A 28-year-old woman in Germany has confessed to killing each of her five children shortly after giving birth to them.

The woman turned herself in to police in the German city of Flensburg and made a "comprehensive confession", according to spokesman Dirk Czarnetzki.
The woman confessed to police that she killed her children, then hid their bodies. She was then arrested on five counts of manslaughter.
Ulrike Stahlmann-Liebelt, the head prosecutor in Flensburg, said the woman has two living children, aged eight and 10, though her name is not being released in accordance with German privacy laws.
The case has shocked the small German town of Husum where the woman lived.
It is alleged she began hiding her pregnancies in 2006, avoiding doctors and hospitals before killing each infant shortly after giving birth.
