Mother charged after 2 children die in small closet

A WOMAN charged in the deaths of two of her children allegedly locked them and three other siblings inside a small closet and left to visit a friend, returning about 10 hours later to find the boy and girl dead inside.

Indianapolis police said Edyan Farah, 28, told officers she “was not in her right mind” when she allegedly put her five children in an upstairs closet and placed a large bed in front of the door so they couldn’t get out.

Police said the closet was about 6 feet long and 18 inches deep.
