Illinois Mother's Three Children Found Dead

Three young children were found dead Saturday, hours after a woman was charged with killing their pregnant mother and her fetus in a grisly attack in which authorities believe her womb was cut open after she was knocked unconscious.

Bodies of the two boys, ages 7 and 2, and their 1-year-old sister were found together in an apartment in the public-housing complex where their mother lived.

The kids were last seen Monday with family friend Tiffany Hall, 24, now charged with first-degree murder in the death of their mother, who is believed to have been slain days before her children disappeared. Hall is also charged with intentional homicide of an unborn child.

Stories like this where the suspect is presumed guilty by admission or overwhelming evidence require the death penalty. Why kill defenseless little kids let alone an adult.
