Carol Coronado, 30, was taken into custody just after 5 p.m., when police found the three sisters — 3 years old, 2 years old and 2 months old — in bed, covered in blood at their home in Torrance, a distant suburb of Los Angeles, sheriff’s deputies told Southern California’s KTLA.
Family members told deputies that a mother had killed her children, the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.
What is more shocking is the fact that the children’s father and grandmother were at home at the time of the arrest. Police are also questioning the dad, according to the Los Angeles Times.
While investigators found several knives in the home, a cause of death has not yet been released to the media.
