Woman accused of killing 5 of her kids

A German woman has gone on trial accused of killing five of her six children in a case that caused widespread shock in Germany last year. Christiane K., whose full surname wasn’t released for privacy reasons, appeared Monday before a regional court in the western city of Wuppertal, declining to answer any of the judges’ questions. Prosecutors allege that the 28-year-old gave her young children large doses of various medications to put them into a stupor, before taking them into the bathroom one by one and drowning, strangling or suffocating them.
