A Lady identified as Christiane K is reported to have poisoned five of her children with pills before leaping infront of a train in a bid to commit suicide, leaving behing her eldest child.
According to reports, bodies of the children – aged 1, 2, 3, 6 and 8 – were later found in a run-down flat by shocked cops in Solingen, western Germany. She was said to have committed this unbelieveable act in the presence of her first son,11.
The mum – named as Christiane K in German media – then took him on a train journey before she got off at Dusseldorf and threw herself on the tracks, reports say.
The 11-year-old was left on the train and continued to Mönchengladbach where his grandmother lived.
He was not harmed and is currently in the care of relatives, police said.
His mother survived the apparent suicide attempt after being rescued by firefighters from between two train track beds at Dusseldorf Central Station – 20 miles from her home.
Cops say she is not yet in fit state to be questioned about what happened.
The dead children have been named as Luca, 8, and Timo, 6, Sophie, 3, Leonie 2, and Melina who was just one.
A police source told RTL they were poisoned with tablets.
Officers are now in contact with the father of the younger children, reports Bild.
