BLACKSTONE, Mass. — The Blackstone mother charged with killing two babies and hiding their bodies in her home will go on trial in June.

Police say Erika Murray admitted she gave birth to those babies in the home and hid them from her boyfriend who didn't want any more children.

Four other children also lived in the home, which was full of human waste and dead animals.

Two of those children were allegedly left in cribs for their entire lives and suffered from polio-like symptoms.

Murray's former boyfriend told police he lived in the basement of the home and never knew about the horrifying conditions. He's facing seperate charges.
