Bronx detectives are questioning the mother of two young children who were found stabbed to death in a Bronx family shelter Saturday night, police said.
Police made the horrific discovery inside of 246 Echo Place in Mount Hope just before 8 p.m. on Nov. 26 — finding a 3-year-old boy and an 11-month-old boy dead, both stabbed multiple times about their bodies, according to Deputy Chief Louis De Ceglie, executive officer of Patrol Borough Bronx.
“Officers arrived and found a 24-year-old female naked inside of the apartment on the third-floor acting irrational,” De Ceglie said. “The officers took the female into custody without incident.” Five minutes later, 911 dispatchers received a second call that two children at the same address were not breathing.
“Officers attempted to resuscitate the children until the ambulance arrived. The two children were removed to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital for treatment,” De Ceglie stated.Their mother remains at St. Barnabas Hospital undergoing a psychiatric evaluation; police consider her a person of interest at this time, with charges pending. The children’s father has not been charged at this time.
