Horrible heat death: Mother puts her children in the oven and turns it on
Atlanta - A US-American woman has been handed a drastic sentence for a terrible crime. Lamora Williams (now 31) was convicted of a number of charges, including two counts of murder against her sons Ja'Karter (1) and Ke'Yaunte Penn (2).
The killing of the two boys happened back in 2017, when the defendant was 24 years old. Court records obtained by Law and Crime show that she called 911 herself that day.
Police were alerted to the address in Oakland City's West End neighborhood by the kids' father, who called law enforcement around the same time.
Williams claimed to have found the two children dead after she left the toddlers with a caregiver.
"When I came in, the stove was on my son, on my youngest son's head, and my other son was on the floor, his brains were on the floor," she described gruesome details.
But it was not an accident that happened by mistake .
The children's heads were indeed in an overturned oven.
Lamora Williams' sons die from severe burns
However, seven years ago, between midnight on October 12 and around 11 p.m. on October 13, the mother had put the two children in the oven and switched it on.
Her sons suffered severe burns and died.
"These thermal changes appear to be solely due to dry heat and changes caused by prolonged exposure to heat," the coroner noted, stating that it took a long period of time for this to happen.
A few days ago, the 31-year-old was found guilty of all 14 charges and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole and a further 35 years in prison.
She will therefore spend the rest of her life behind Swedish bars.
