Digging for bodies of 800 babies begins at church-run Irish home
A team of forensic archaeologists and crime scene experts began excavating the remains of around 800 infants who died at an Irish church-run home for unmarried mothers between 1925 and 1961. Many of the infants were believed to have been dumped into a former sewage tank. After birth, babies were taken away from their mothers and handed over to nuns.
