Two sisters aged 5 and 7 spent several days in an apartment with the body of their mother who had died suddenly in northwestern France, the regional prosecutor said.
Rennes - Two sisters aged 5 and 7 spent several days in an apartment with the body of their mother who had died suddenly in northwestern France, the regional prosecutor said on Saturday.
"Be quiet, Mommy is sleeping," the girls told police officers who came to their apartment on Wednesday in the city of Le Mans after being alerted by the girls' schools of their prolonged absence, the prosecutor's office said. The officers insisted on coming in and discovered the body of the mother, who was born in 1990 in Ivory Coast and who had died of natural causes, according to a subsequent autopsy.
The girls were taken to a hospital and were then placed in foster care and were being given psychological counselling."We have ruled out a criminal hypothesis," Mans prosecutor Delphine Dewailly told AFP."We are now going to wait a few days and then try to get witness testimony from the little girls."

OP-ED: Why the Bangladeshi taka is now the South African rand’s most important cross-rate (Part Two)The minimum wage for a textile worker in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is 8,000 taka – or R1,400 a month. This covers 4.4 million workers in 4,620 factories and does not include overtime. South Africa’s minimum wage – based on an eight-hour day, 22 days a month – is R3,520. It is a wide disconnect, and unsustainable as the production world of low- to mid-value manufactures becomes ever more Asia-centric.
