Woman kills her 2 children

AUTHORITIES in a city just south of Boston in the US say a pregnant woman killed her nine-year-old daughter and stabbed herself in the stomach to kill her unborn child.

Norfolk District Attorney William Keating says 38-year-old Fang Chi Xue was treated for self-inflicted stab wounds and is expected to be arraigned on two counts of murder. A 14-year-old girl survived the attack with minor injuries.

The incident was sparked by an argument, he said.
