Woman killed her two adopted children

A WOMAN has been convicted of murdering two of her adopted daughters whose bodies were found in a freezer in her US home.

Renee Bowman, 44, was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of first-degree child abuse. The freezer containing the two bodies was found at her home in Lusby, Maryland, in September 2008 after a third girl escaped.

Bowman pleaded guilty to abusing the surviving girl, also adopted, and was sentenced to 25 years in prison in that case. The girl, now nine and living with new foster parents, testified in the murder trial last week.
