A woman on the island of Guadeloupe who is believed to have beheaded her two young children had to be Tasered by police and admitted to a psychiatric hospital after she was found wandering the streets naked and singing.
The mutilated bodies of the four-year-old and 13-month-old brothers were found by their father in a bathtub in their home in Sainte-Rose around 3:25 a.m. Tuesday.
The children’s father, who had just returned home from work, alerted the emergency services, and that was when the police found the woman “in a state of delirium,” according to the commander of the Guadeloupe gendarmerie, General Christophe Perret.
French outlet Le Parisien reported that the woman was speaking incoherently and could not explain the reasons for her actions when approached by police.
Prosecutor Caroline Talbo said the mother was initially detained and later released due to her mental state, and has been hospitalized since.
Police have opened a murder investigation, but no further details have been revealed.
A woman on the island of Guadeloupe who is believed to have beheaded her two young children had to be Tasered by police and admitted to a psychiatric hospital after she was found wandering the streets naked and singing.
According to the outlet Ouest France, autopsies will be performed on the two bodies today and tomorrow.
In addition, a knife was found at the scene of the murders, which will now be analyzed, Calbo confirmed.
Meanwhile, the father had to be treated by emergency services because he was in a state of shock.
The horrific murder of two innocent children comes just days after a woman killed herself and her two children last week after jumping from Niagara Falls.
Chianti Means, 33, jumped over the railing on Luna Island on Monday night, with her two children, Roman, 9, and Mecca, four months.
Police said last Wednesday that after thoroughly sweeping the area for days, search and rescue efforts were unsuccessful.
Since her death, previous Facebook posts she had made expressing her desire to return to her daughter’s father have resurfaced online.
Just days before jumping on the death of herself and her children, Means marveled at her daughter, writing online that she was beautiful.
On October 14, Means mourned that she and her daughter’s father were no longer together.
