An Ohio mother was charged Thursday with aggravated murder after the bodies of her two young daughters were found buried in separate suitcases in shallow graves in Cleveland earlier this week, officials said.

Aliyah Henderson, 28, was charged with two counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of Mila Chatman and Amor Wilson, police told Fox News Digital. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the girls’ names and said DNA relationship testing helped identify them. Mila was 8 years old and her half-sister, Amor, was 10, the office said. The medical examiner’s office has not released a cause of death.
