A mother will spend the rest of her life in prison after killing her two toddler sons by putting them in an oven and turning it on.
Lamora Williams, 24, in October 2017 had told police that she left her three children at home with a caregiver who was gone when she got home from work to find two of her kids dead.
‘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 dispatcher at the time, according to Law&Crime.
‘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 home from work.’
Seven years later, Williams has learned that she will be locked up for life, as a jury on Friday convicted her of 14 charges including murder in the deaths of her sons Ja’Karter Penn, 1, and Ke-Yaunte Penn, 2.
Williams ‘knowingly and intentionally’ killed her young boys ‘by placing them in an oven and turning it on’ sometime from midnight on October 12 to 11pm the next day, stated an Atlanta Police Department arrest warrant.
Autopsy reports stated that the boys’ heads were inside an oven that was tipped over.
The boys’ dad also called 911 after Williams did not want to give dispatchers her address in the Oakland City West End neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia.
‘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,’ said Jameel Penn to the dispatcher.
‘She video called me and I seen it. I really think they are dead.
‘It was like a real horror movie. It was Friday the 13th.’
Williams, who denied responsibility for her sons’ deaths, in February 2018 was indicted on four counts of felony murder, two counts of murder, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of concealing a death and a count of making a false statement. She was later hit with additional charges.
Shortly after the jury found her guilty of 14 counts, she was sentenced to life in prison without parole, and an additional 35 years.
Williams was sentenced just over a month after Kentucky woman was busted for allegedly dismembering her mother’s body and cooking some of her parts in a pot that was still ‘warm to the touch’.
