Beijing: The bodies of two toddlers were found in a washing machine at their home in east China's Jiangxi province, police said Monday.
The two sisters, three and two years old, crawled into the washing machine while playing at home in Qiaoshe township of Xinjian county, and died there around noon Saturday, Xinhua reported citing police sources.
