Police say a Massachusetts woman in United States stabbed her two young children to death and then asked a neighbor to call 911, in what prosecutors call a “heartbreaking crime.”
Authorities discovered the children’s bodies Monday in a Brockton apartment. Police say the brothers, ages 5 and 8, were killed sometime over the weekend.
Their mother, 43-year-old Latarsha Sanders, is scheduled to be arraigned on two counts of murder Tuesday in Brockton. It could not immediately be determined if she has a lawyer to comment on the accusations.
Prosecutors say she has a third child who is safe. Authorities have not publicly identified the children.
Plymouth District Attorney Timothy Cruz says an investigation into the woman’s motive is ongoing.
