BLACKSTONE, Mass. (AP) — The squalid Massachusetts house in which the skeletal remains of three dead infants were found is being torn down.

The Board of Health in the city of Blackstone ordered the demolition to begin Tuesday. It is expected to take two days.

The woman who lived in the house with four children and her boyfriend is being held on $1 million bail on charges including fetal death concealment. Erika Murray's lawyer said last week that she appears to have mental health issues.

Four children ranging in age from 6 months to 13 years were removed from the house in August, and authorities found the infants' remains in a more thorough search a few weeks later.

Authorities said the house was piled high with dirty diapers and infested with rodents and insects.
