This is a very tragic situation and my thoughts are with the family members of the victims. Read more details in the article below:
GERMANTOWN, Md.
(AP) — A Maryland woman charged with killing two of her children has told
investigators that she thought an exorcism was necessary to remove the presence
of the devil and evil spirits, a police captain said Sunday.
Zakieya Latrice
Avery, 28, of Germantown, is charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing
deaths of the children, ages 1 and 2.
Montgomery County
police responded to Avery's home Friday morning following a neighbor's 911
call. Police said they found the two children dead and two other siblings, ages
5 and 8, injured with stabbing wounds.
"She thought
the devil was in the kids, and that's sort of the thing she centered it around
as to why she had to conduct an exorcism," said Capt. Marcus Jones,
director of the police department's major crimes division. "She just
thought that there were evil spirits within the kids."
