Police: Father of smothered TN twins not fiance

GALLATIN, Tenn. (AP) ? A detective says a mother accused in the smothering deaths of her newborn twins told him the babies' father might not be her fiance and that DNA tests proved it.

Twenty-five-year old Lindsey Lowe sobbed audibly Tuesday as Hendersonville Police Det. Steve Malach described how Lowe had told him of the affair in December and January.

Lowe's attorney, John Pellegrin, said after the hearing that it was the first time Lowe had heard the results of the paternity test.

Lowe is charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Malach testified that Lowe told him she covered the mouths of the infants after giving birth on Sept. 12 so that her parents would not hear their cries.

The case was sent to the grand jury.
