Mother accused of throwing sons into San Francisco Bay

A woman seen dropping her three young sons into San Francisco Bay from a downtown pier was charged with murder early today, as anguished relatives kept vigil and rescuers combed the chilly water for the bodies of two of the victims.

Lashuan Harris, 23, is being held in a hospital jail ward after police saw her pushing an empty pushchair away from the pier where a witness reported spotting a woman drop the children into the water on Wednesday night local time.
