Police in Phoenix have arrested a mother in connection with the deaths of her two young daughters.
According to authorities, officers found the girls, ages 4 and 9, dead inside the family’s apartment. Retta was charged with two counts of first degree murder. Police allege she gave the children a mix of acetaminophen and oxycodone.
Investigators believe the girls likely died from an overdose. According to court documents, Retta allegedly told authorities she believed her children had COVID 19 and that she tried to help them sleep. She also allegedly told hospital staff she was responsible for the 9 year old’s death and that she had tried to take her own life as well.
Her bond was set at $2 million. The charges are allegations, and the case was still in its early stages at the time of this report.
