Man cleared of preventing burial of two babies after their bodies were found at house on quiet street
A man has been cleared of hiding the deaths of two babies who were found dead at a home. Zilvinas Ledovskis, 50, of Phoebe Road in Swansea, south Wales, was held with his ex-partner, Egle Zilinskaite, 30, over the grim discovery of the babies in their former home. The van driver was due to face trial later this year 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. Following a review of the evidence, the van driver was found not guilty at a hearing before Cardiff Crown Court today, after the prosecution said it would be presenting no evidence against him. Zilinskaite, 31, of Crwys Road, Cardiff, pleaded guilty to the charges in April last year and is due to be sentenced later this year. Addressing Mr Ledovskis, Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke, the Recorder of Cardiff, said: 'The prosecution has offered no evidence against you and accordingly I direct not guilty verdicts to be entered. 'That concludes the proceedings so far as you are concerned.' The charges relate to the discovery of two babies at an end-of-terrace home in Maes-Y-Felin, Wildmill, Bridgend, in November 2022. The two children, previously referred to as Baby A and Baby B in court, died some time between January 1 2017 and November 26 2022.
