According The Midi Dispatch, who revealed the case, it all started when the infants’ mother, a resident of the Muret sector, took one of them to the hospital because he was suffering from an arm. The x-rays revealed “about fifteen fractures”, leading to the report.
Examined in turn, the twin brother also has multiple bone lesions. Still according to the regional daily, the parents, who deny any violence, were placed in police custody and then released.
