Mom confesses to killing her two children whose decomposing bodies with ‘visible trauma’ were found by police
THE mother of two children whose bodies were found decomposing by police has confessed to killing them.
The children, who were found in separate parts of the apartment, both had visible trauma to their bodies when police found them on Tuesday afternoon.
The children have been identified as an eight-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl.
Following the horrific discovery, Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said that the children's 28-year-old mother confessed to investigators when she was arrested this morning.
"There is nothing more difficult than investigating the murder of a child, much less two children," he said.
A neighbor said that cops knocked at her door to tell her the devastating news, to which she just "cried."
Toni Hyman told : "The police came to my apartment and pretty much told me two children were found unresponsive in the building next door.
"I literally just saw them. They just asked about my daughter and when she was coming back, and they seemed fine."
She added that her nine-year-old daughter played with the boy and girl, who are around the same age.
The pair lived with their mother in the apartment, according to the neighbor.
