A Blackstone Police officer guards a home after the remains of three infants were discovered inside last week. Cleaning crews have been brought in to gut the condemned house which was filled with bugs and trash.
[From article]
The lawyer for a mother arrested after the bodies of three infants were found in her home said today he believed a basement boarder was the woman's boyfriend and fathered all the children - before rubbishing claims that the man was unaware of the horrific conditions upstairs.
Lawyer Keith Halpern also said that he's optimistic forensic testing will show the babies weren't born alive, and therefore weren't harmed or killed by his client.
Erika Murray, 31, was charged on Friday with fetal death concealment and other counts after authorities found the bodies in her squalid, vermin-infested home in Blackstone, a town near the Rhode Island border and about 50 miles southwest of Boston, Massachusetts.
A medical examiner is determining whether the remains were newborns or fetuses, and how they died. One body still had the placenta attached.

Remains of dead dog and cat removed; wall had to be knocked down due to feces contamination
