Authorities in Lauderhill, Florida say a 36 year old mother has been arrested in connection with the deaths of her two young daughters.
According to Local 10 News, the girls, Destiny, 9, and Daysha, 7, were found in a Lauderhill canal on June 22. Destiny was reportedly found first that afternoon near Northwest 21st Street and 56th Avenue. Daysha was reportedly found that evening about a half mile away in the same canal.
Police say the girls’ mother, Tinessa, was arrested Tuesday around 9:30 p.m. on two counts of first degree murder. Lauderhill police have not said publicly what evidence led to the arrest. An arrest is not a conviction, and it was not clear from early reports whether she has entered a plea or hired an attorney.
Authorities say the investigation remains active.
