What Happened In The Case of a Hillsborough, New Jersey, Mother Charged with Killing Her Two Children?

According to Patch, "A Hillsborough mother accused of strangling her two boys, ages 5 and 7, to death in January will have her fate decided by a grand jury."

The report added, "Priyatharsini Natarajan is charged with the murder of her boys, ages 5 and 7, after her husband came home from work to find the kids dead." 

She could be sentenced to two life terms with no chance of parole. Natarajan qualifies for a public defender and confirmed she will not be hiring a private attorney.

Patch added "The father told police that before he found out that his sons were dead, Natarajan "confessed to him that she killed them," and they had been dead for several hours, documents said. Authorities also found a handwritten note addressed to the husband with Natarajan's plans to kill the boys and herself, according to the report."

Truly a horrible story and a tragic end to these young boys' lives. It’s not yet known when the hearing will be scheduled.
