Washington - An elderly woman has been charged with murdering eight of her 10 children over a 19 year period, it emerged yesterday.
Mrs Marie Noe (69) was arrested in Philadelphia on Wednesday after police claimed she confessed to suffocating four of the babies. Mrs Noe denies the charges. The series of unexplained deaths was reported sympathetically in the 1960s as cot deaths but the police never closed the case.
