A 51-year-old employee at a state hospital in Pennsylvania is accused of stealing more than $130,000 from a female resident currently serving two consecutive life sentences for killing her sons, shooting both kids in the head while they slept.

Bridget Nicole Compton was taken into custody last week and charged with device fraud, identity theft, forgery, and several other related offenses for allegedly stealing the funds from Trinh T. Nguyen, who last year pleaded guilty to the murders of her children, 13-year-old Jeffrey Tini and 9-year-old Nelson Tini, authorities announced.

After being arrested for her children’s slayings, Nguyen was initially found incompetent to stand trial before being sent to Norristown State Hospital for treatment.
