Mother that killed 2 children by putting them in an oven will spend life in prison
ATLANTA (WKRC) - A mother who killed two of her children by "placing them in an oven and turning it on" will spend her life in prison.
"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," Williams told the 911 operator. "I don't know what to do. I just came home from work."
"Can you please help me?" she continued. "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 home from work."
Williams told police that she had left the three children with a caregiver while she went to work and that two of her children were dead and the caregiver was gone when she returned home.
Around the same time that Williams called 911, the father of the children also called the police.
"I just received a call from my child's mother that my two of my two dead babies; my sons are dead in an apartment," the boys' father Jameel Penn said on the phone. "She video called me and I seen it. I really think they are dead."
According to the autopsy reports, the two children had their heads stuck in a oven that was tipped over. Although the police said the children had just been burned, the medical examiner disagreed.
"These thermal changes appear to be entirely from dry heat and changes from prolonged exposure to heat," read both autopsies. "It would require an extensive amount of time to get to this degree."
According to an arrest warrant obtained by Law&Crime, the mother "knowingly and intentionally" killed her children "by placing them in an oven and turning it on."
Although Williams attempted to prove her innocence, she was indicted on four counts of murder, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of concealing death, and a false statement charge in 2018.
Williams was sentenced on Friday on 14 charges, which added up to a life sentence in prison without possibility of parole (and an additional 35 years).
