PHOENIX - Police arrested a young mother on Tuesday on suspicion of smothering her three young children to death, one at a time, in the family’s Phoenix home, then propping their bodies on a sofa as if they were napping, authorities and court records said.
Rachel Henry, 22, was booked into the Maricopa County jail on three counts of first-degree murder after admitting she had harmed the children, Phoenix Police Sergeant Mercedes Fortune said. Police initially said the cause of the children’s deaths had yet to be determined and there were no obvious signs of trauma.
She recounted smothering the 3-year-old next, straddling him on the floor of a bedroom as she sang to the child and he tried scratching and pinching her until he died, according to the probable cause statement. It said she then fed her 7-month-old daughter a bottle before smothering her, again while singing to the infant.
