Horror in Germany. A 27-year-old woman is suspected of killing five of her six children and then attempting suicide by throwing herself on the platforms of Duesseldorf station and being seriously injured. The victims are three one and a half, two and three year old girls and two six and eight year old boys and their bodies were found in an apartment in Solingen, North Rhine Westphalia.

The only survivor of the tragedy is the eleven-year-old eldest son, who was with his mother when the woman threw herself on the tracks as a train arrived just before 2pm.

The children’s grandmother contacted the police and informed them of the incident. The agents went to an apartment in the Hassedelle district of Solingen in North Rhine Westphalia, where they made the grisly discovery. At the moment, no details about the children’s deaths have been released. The woman was hospitalized and is in police custody.

“We don’t know exactly what happened, when or why, it’s just a very tragic situation,” said police spokesman Stefan Weiand, making it clear that the woman is not in a position to be questioned.
