Chinese girls found dead after starving to death...

Two young Chinese girls have reportedly been found dead having starved to death after they were abandoned alone in a squalid fifth-floor flat.

In the latest case of child abuse to shock China, the girls, aged one and three, appear to have been left with no food at their home in a rural suburb of Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province. Their bodies were found at around 9am last Friday and the mother, who was named only as Ms Le, was arrested on Sunday.

Neighbours said the mother had "a history of using drugs", the Shanghai Daily reported.

Cui Yongli, a journalist from Shaanxi province's Chinese Business View, painted a bleak picture of conditions inside the flat where police found the lifeless, sore-covered babies.

One neighbour, Zhang Yu, said the father had been arrested for an alleged drug offence in February and had not been seen since. The mother was rarely at the apartment and the children were often heard crying.

 During one recent visit to the family's home, Mr Zhang said he had seen "the younger daughter lying on her stomach by the lavatory, totally covered in faeces." Another neighbour, 55-year-old Shi Chunxiang, said she had also heard banging and screaming coming from the apartment. Full story...
