Mum admits hiding births of two babies then burying their bodies inside home
The bodies of two babies were found at a home in Maes-Y-Felin, Wildmill, Bridgend, in November 2022.
A woman has admitted to burying two dead babies in a home in south Wales.
The bodies of two babies were found at a home in Maes-Y-Felin, Wildmill, Bridgend, in November 2022.
It’s thought they died sometime between January 2017 and November 2022.
Egle Zilinskaite, 30, has now pleaded guilty to two counts of concealing the birth of a child and two counts of preventing the lawful and decent burial of a dead body.
Her former partner, Zilvinas Ledovskis, 49, pleaded not guilty to the same charges and is set to go on trial later this year.
They both appeared at Cardiff crown court and spoke through a Lithuanian interpreter to enter their pleas.
The babies were referred to as ‘Baby A’ and ‘Baby B’ in court as the charges were read out, and their age and sex have not yet been confirmed by South Wales Police.
Ledovskis’s trial date has been set as November 25, while Zilinskaite’s case has been adjourned until December, after Ledovskis’s trial has concluded.
Both have been released on conditional bail. They aren’t allowed to contact each other, must report to a local police station, and can’t apply for or hold any passports or travel documents.
