    An incestuous house of horrors was the backdrop to a chilling discovery, with three babies found dead at the property.

    Depraved conditions were found in the home after further inspection, with the home of Piotr Gierasik, 54, raided by police. Polish officers made the disgusting discoveries upon entering the home.

    Now, Gierasik and his daughter, Paulina, 20, have been arrested and charged with murder and incest following the discovery of three dead babies at the home in Czerniki, Poland. The nightmare house was explored by officers who detailed the grim findings and hidden holes in the walls.

    Footage from inside the disgusting basement has since been aired, seen through a hole in the wall. The interior showed no flooring, exposed pipes and apparently was the location officers found the three dead babies.

    Local police claim they found two of the three dead youngsters wrapped in plastic and buried in shallow graves upon an inspection last Friday. A third body was confirmed a day later, found in an "advanced state of decomposition".

    Exposed bricks were also seen in the footage, with the area now believed to be the final resting places of the youngsters. Parts of the basement appeared inaccessible from the window.

    Prosecutors are now firm in their claim that at least two of the murdered children were a result of an incestuous relationship between Piotr and Paulina. The third child is believed to have been fathered by Piotr through his other daughter.

    Colleagues from Paulina's place of work at a bakery described the duo's relationship as "like a couple" and that she had done everything she could to stop other boys from looking at her. One alleged she "shaved her head" to reduce attention.

    Another claimed she looked up to her father "as if he were God" and managed to hide her pregnancy, allegedly caused by her father, by wearing a tight corset. One said: "I think she had tied belts around herself like a corset."

    They further claimed: "When she returned early from [a] holiday the change was visible. She was much thinner, weaker and constantly tired. When we asked about the child, she feigned surprise and denied it."

    One of the unnamed daughters allegedly escaped from the house of horrors as she was "fed up with being raped" according to The Mirror. Mr Gierasik was part of a police investigation a decade ago, with allegations he had slept with his daughter. The case was reportedly discarded.

    A neighbour speaking to the local press claimed: "When his older daughter ran away from home because she was fed up with being raped, he started sleeping with her younger sister, Paulina. The father was left alone with the children. There are a lot of them, 10 or 12; the oldest ones have already left.

    "Piotr made a good impression. The yard is neglected, but he installed new windows in the house. There was no sign of him drinking. He took the kids for walks or to the forest to pick mushrooms. Just ordinary people. Who would have thought that such abominations existed in their home?"
