Mother held for drowning her two children in bathtub

A Houston mother who calmly told an acquaintance that she had drowned her two children in a bathtub has been charged with their deaths and was being held by police.

Sheborah Thomas, 30, was charged with capital murder of a person under age six, according to court records.

“All indications are she is the one who acted alone” in the deaths of her seven-year-old son and five-year-old daughter, Houston police spokesman Kese Smith said.
