Couple appear in court after bodies of two babies found at home in South Wales
A COUPLE have appeared in court after the bodies of two babies were found at a home.
Zilvinas Ledovskis, 48, and Egle Zilinskaite, 30, were held after the grim discovery in Bridgend, Wales, in November 2022.
The couple appeared at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court today charged with two counts of concealing the birth of a child.
Ledovskis and Zilinskaite are also accused of two counts of preventing the lawful and decent burial of a dead body.
They spoke only to confirm their names and addresses using an interpreter.
The couple were released on conditional bail to next appear at Cardiff Crown Court on March 19.
They were ordered to surrender their passports and not to contact each other.
Police swooped on the home end-terrace home in Maes-Y-Felin after the tragic discovery was made.
Neighbours were left horrified when they saw the tiny body bags being taken from the house.
Charmaine Gardener-Ponting said of the couple: “We would hear them having people round in the back garden. Its just awful.”
A South Wales Police spokesman said: “Detectives investigating the discovery of the bodies of two babies at an address in Wildmill, Bridgend in November 2022 have charged two people.
“Egle Zilinskaite, 30, and Zilvinas Ledovskis, 48, have both been charged with two counts of concealing the birth of a child and two counts of preventing the lawful and decent burial of a dead body.”
