DUXBURY, MASSACHUSETTS (AP) – A 32-year-old mother in Massachusetts, United States is expected to be charged in the killing of her two children and the injuring of her infant son, Plymouth District Attorney Timothy Cruz said on Wednesday.
Authorities arrived at a house in Duxbury on Tuesday night after receiving reports that a woman jumped out of a window. They found her and the children unconscious with obvious signs of trauma. The mother, Lindsay Clancy, remains hospitalised and will be arraigned on homicide charges after she is released, Cruz said. It appears the children were strangled, he added.
Late Wednesday, Cruz said on Twitter that an arrest warrant had been issued for Clancy for two counts of homicide and three each for strangulation and assault and battery with a deadly weapon for the deaths of her two children. Clancy is under policy custody.
“This is an unimaginable, senseless tragedy, and it is an ongoing investigation,” Cruz said at a news conference on Tuesday.
