Mass grave containing remains of babies in sewage tank at home where ‘800 children died’

A MASS grave thought to contain the remains of babies and young children has been discovered at a former Catholic orphanage in Ireland where almost 800 perished in deaths that were never documented…The Mother and Baby Homes Commission said excavations since November at the site of the former Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, County Galway, had made disturbing discoveries.

Investigators have found an underground structure divided into 20 chambers containing “significant quantities of human remains”.

DNA analysis of selected remains confirmed the ages of the dead ranged from 35 weeks to three years old and were buried mainly in the 1950s.
