The Yuba County Sheriff’s Office in California is investigating the deaths of two young children who were drowned by their mom Wednesday.
Courtney Williams, 26, was arrested the following day and charged with homicide after she drowned her two children – 5-month-old Holden and 2-year-old Ronin – in a bathtub.
It was the children’s father who called 911 after he found his children’s bodies; the man had arrived home for lunch at around noon when Williams told him she “hurt the children.”
“The tragic loss of five-month-old Holden and his two-and-a-half-year-old brother Ronin reverberates throughout our department and into the community,” Yuba County Sheriff Wendell Anderson said.
“There are no words to adequately describe the sadness we feel for the family at this time.”
