"Homicide detectives located what appears to be additional human remains, which were removed by personnel from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for further investigation," police said.
On Monday, Boston police said the remains found belonged to two boys and two girls. Their cause of death will be determined after an autopsy is conducted by the Chief Medical Examiner.
The Boston Police Homicide Detectives and Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office are investigating the deaths.
No arrests have been made in connection to the bodies found.
The identity of the infants and the name of any potential suspects have not yet been shared by police.
