According to the police officials, the 28-year-old mother admitted to brutally killing her two kids after their bodies were recently discovered decomposing in her apartment. Prosecutors say the defendant stands accused of strangling her 6-year-old daughter and stabbing her 8-year-old son in the chest with a knife.

According to the police officials, both of the children, Da’Neria and Davin Thomas, were tossed aside after they were killed. The girl was found in the bathtub with a clothing object still around her neck and the boy was found lying face down in a sleeping bag in the apartment’s living room with a trash bag over his head. Police say ‘the knife was still there.’

Police say a neighbor reported hearing the little girl scream on the night of Aug. 19. The neighbors said ‘the screams continued all through the night and into the early morning hours.’

The 28-year-old mother from Maryland, Jameria Hall, was reportedly arrested while taking an Uber. She waived her rights and gave details about the slayings when taken into custody. Her next court appearance is currently slated for Sept. 21.
