Mother who drowned children said 'she finally did it'

Andrea Yates, the mother who drowned her five children in the bathtub, called her husband at work that day to say ‘‘she finally did it,’’ a jury at her murder trial in Texas was told.

Russell Yates went home after getting the call last June, and police Sergeant David Svahn testified that he was the first officer to encounter Yates as the young father ran up to the house in Houston.
