Mother 'stabs her 3 sons to death'

 

US: A 29 year old mother Octavia Rogers from Phoenix is suspected of stabbing her three sons to death and packing their partly disjointed bodies in a cupboard before trying to commit suicide at their home, said police.

According to Phoenix Police, Sgt Trent Crump, he said.

The woman who is currently in critical condition in the hospital with self-inflicted wounds stabbed her sons Jaikare Rahaman, 8, Jeremiah Adams, 5, and 2 months old Avery Robinson to death.

She was found in the garage by her brother on Wednesday night when he returned home from work. She talked about God and said she'd found the answer to life - something she'd only recently started talking about.

The two of them talked before she went inside and locked the door behind her. The brother forced the door opened after making a number of calls, by then she had already shut up herself in another room.

The woman later came out covered in blood with stab wounds across her abdomen and neck, Crump said.

She told her brother she'd done it because she was pregnant - though police have not confirmed if that's true, Crump said.

While the brother grabbed towels for her bleeding, she tried to drown herself in a bathtub, he said.

That's when the brother called the police.

It was only after she was sent to the hospital and police began searching the house that they found the older boys inside a cupboard crammed full of miscellaneous items.

Detectives later discovered the youngest child inside a suitcase stuffed deeper inside the cupboard.
Neighbors, police and bystanders were stunned by the details.
It was "an absolutely horrific scene for the officers and the brother," Crump said. "Nobody wants to see this happen to a child, nobody."
The home is owned by Rogers' mother.
