Woman's chilling 911 call after killing her children
WARNING: Distressing content.
A woman has pleaded guilty to two counts of murder in the fatal stabbings of her young children after her husband filed for divorce.
Brandi Worley, 31, from Indiana in the US, killed her seven-year-old son, Tyler, and three-year-old daughter, Charlee Worley, on November 17 in 2016. Police said Worley called 911, admitting she just killed her children.
First responders found the children dead at the family's Darlington home about 64km northwest of Indianapolis.
Worley said in a 911 call released at the time and obtained by The Indy Channel: "I just stabbed myself and I killed my two children."
The dispatcher asked her: "You stabbed yourself and killed your two children?" "Mm-hm," the mother replied. Worley said the children's bodies were "in my daughter's room on the floor".
The dispatcher later asked her: "And what caused you to do this today?"
Worley answered: "My husband wanted to divorce and wanted to take my kids. I don't want him to have my kids."
She told the dispatcher she stabbed herself in the neck, saying: "There's blood everywhere."
The dispatcher asked Worley how she was feeling at one point. The mother said that she was "just tired," explaining "I took a lot of Benadryl".
American broadcaster WISH-TV reports 31-year-old Brandi Worley's plea agreement was accepted and sentencing is scheduled for March 19.
Worley was treated for self-inflicted stab wounds to her neck. Her husband, Jason Worley, told officers he was asleep downstairs when the attack occurred.
