An Atlanta mother was convicted of killing her two toddler sons in her kitchen oven and sentenced to life without parole plus 35 years.
Lamora Williams, 24, was convicted on 14 counts, including murder, in the 2017 incident, according to WAGA.
Williams initially claimed she left 1-year-old Ja’Karter Penn and 2-year-old Ke’Yaunte Penn with a caregive while she went to work, as CrimeOnline reported. She called 911 and reported that when she returned, she found the two children dead and the caregiver gone.
“Can you please help me? Like. Can you please tell me, like, I don’t want to get locked up because this is not my fault? I had just came [sic] home from work,” she said. “When I came in, the stove was laying on my son, on my youngest son’s head, and my other son was laid out on the floor with his brains laid out on the floor. I don’t know what to do. I just came home from work.”
Investigators later determined that Williams had put the boys in the oven the night before and video-called the boys’ father, showing him the bodies, WAGA reported.
A jury convicted Williams on two counts of murder, four counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of first degree cruelty to children, two counts of concealing the death of another, one count of second degree cruelty to children, and one count of giving a false statement.
