A New Jersey mother of two was charged with murder after authorities said she drowned her two young children following an episode of “concerning thoughts.”
Elkins told detectives that her husband had left for a business trip the night before and she went to work at a local day care, according to a police affidavit. That same day, she started having “concerning thoughts,” as the affidavit put it, and “spent the night praying.”Elkins said that she went to work again the next day, but when she returned home, “she believed that she needed to kill the children for religious purposes,” according to the affidavit.
According to the affidavit, Elkins said she then took the 1-year-old to the bathroom and held her underwater in the bathtub for two to three minutes. “She said that she counted to 50 multiple times to ensure she held them underwater for enough time,” police wrote in the affidavit.According the affidavit, Elkins called the Hatzolah Medical Services, a volunteer emergency medical service that operates in Jewish communities.
