A 41-year-old woman in Pennsylvania will spend the rest of her life behind bars for killing her two young children, using a dog leash to hang the kids from a beam in their basement five years ago.

Berks County Court of Common Pleas Judge M. Theresa Johnson on Thursday ordered Lisa Snyder, of Kempton, Pennsylvania, to serve two consecutive sentences of life in a state correctional facility for the horrific slayings of 8-year-old Connor and 4-year-old Brinley, authorities announced.

Following a seven-day bench trial in September, Snyder was convicted on two counts of first-degree murder in her kids’ deaths. She was also convicted on charges of endangering the welfare of a child and tampering with physical evidence. She was sentenced to an additional 8 1/2 years to 17 years on the lesser charges.
