Four of the infants are male.<\/p>\n
"In Sukajadi, the babies were found in a back room of a house
\nbelonging to one of the suspects," he said.<\/p>\n
The infants, aged one month to three months, are now at a
\nhealth polyclinic of the Dumai Police.<\/p>\n
The suspects are detained at Dumai Police Headquarters,
