Shocking Story Of Woman Who Kept Dead Babies Hidden Inside Wardrobe For 20 Years (DETAILS)

Spread the love

A sickened daughter has revealed how her mum kept dead babies hidden in the wardrobe for 20 years – while disguising the smell with air fresheners.

Bernadette Quirk wrapped the four tiny newborns in newspaper and stashed them in a red bin – taking it with her every time the family moved home.

Her horrific secret was first exposed in 1998 when daughter Catherine – then 16 – put her hand in the bin and “felt a baby’s head”.

The teenager and her sister Joanne Lee begged their mum to give the baby a proper burial – but the two girls were unaware their mum had hidden three other newborn girls.

It was only in 2009 that their mum’s full gruesome secret was laid bare, with ex-nurse Quirk later admitting four counts of concealing a birth at Liverpool Crown Court.

Joanne, who has now written a book Silent Sisters about the horror, said:

“I’d always wanted to write a book because my life had been a jigsaw puzzle which I wanted to piece together.

“But I will never know the whole truth. I will never know how she hid those babies all those years.

“Where were they in between her moving houses? How do you hide the smell of a dead body? The smell is indescribable. It clings to you and you can taste it.”

Quirk managed to escape jail and was instead handed a two-year community order. She passed away in February aged 64.

All four of the children had different fathers – one of whom was Joanne’s ex partner.

Joanne has previously opened up about her chaotic childhood – revealing the siblings would often go weeks without gas or electricity because of their alcoholic mum.
