A probable cause arrest affidavit details how a mother and father from Indiana allegedly killed their two children and then burned their bodies in a firepit in the backyard after excavating them from their homemade graves.

Steven Valle, 31, and Samantha Sebella, 25, are facing charges of murder, neglect of a dependent causing death, abuse of a corpse and failure to report a dead body.

The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office said deputies began investigating Sept. 20 after one of the couple’s friends contacted the agency about Valle confiding in him, “I killed my two kids,” the affidavit obtained by Law&Crime said. When the friend inquired further, Valle allegedly said they had “smothered their first born but had drown the second born and burnt their bodies in the firepit at their house.”
