Life for ‘house of horrors’ mother

Declaring a “house of horrors” closed, a judge sentenced a Detroit mother to life in prison for killing two of her four children and for storing their bodies for years in a home freezer.

Mitchelle Blair was charged, convicted and sentenced within four months, since March, when a shocked eviction crew discovered the children’s bodies. She pleaded guilty, in June, to first-degree murder, insisting she’d take the death penalty if Michigan had it.

“You imposed the death penalty on your own children,” Judge Dana Hathaway said.
