A woman is accused of strangling two of her children Tuesday night in Duxbury, Massachusetts, authorities said Wednesday, as they identified all three and announced they were seeking the mother's arrest.
"Our hearts' condolences go out to the Clancy family. I cannot begin to fathom the depth of pain that must be going on," he said.
When police and fire agencies arrived, they found the woman, along with three children under the age of 5 who were unconscious and had obvious signs of trauma, according to Cruz. A preliminary investigation into the deaths of the two older children indicated they died of strangulation. Cruz was asked Wednesday if the baby was harmed in an attempted strangulation, but the district attorney didn't specify beyond saying that"there is certainly evidence of harm to the child."Cruz stressed Wednesday that the investigation had been a round-the-clock matter that was still ongoing. Police had remained at the home on Wednesday morning.
