Atlanta mom who killed 2 young sons by putting them into a hot oven is sentenced

ATLANTA (TCN) — A 24-year-old woman will spend the rest of her life behind bars after a jury convicted her of multiple charges, including two counts of murder and cruelty to children, for putting her two young sons in a hot oven, killing them.

Fulton County court records show a jury convicted Lamora Williams of 14 charges, including two counts of murder, two counts of first-degree cruelty to children, four counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of concealing the death of another, and making a false statement.

WAGA-TV reports a judge sentenced Williams to life in prison without parole as well as an additional 35 years for the deaths of 1-year-old Ja’Karter Penn and 2-year-old Ke’Yaunte Penn.

On Oct. 13, 2017, Williams called the Atlanta Police Department and said she discovered her two sons deceased on the ground. She reportedly told the dispatcher, “When I came in, the stove was laying on my son, on my youngest son’s head, and my other son was laid out on the floor with his brains laid out on the floor. I don’t know what to do. I just came home from work.”
