The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed this Monday three murder charges against Liliana Carrillo for allegedly killing her three small children in an apartment in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Reseda. The woman allegedly drowned and stabbed the minors before fleeing to the San Joaquin Valley.
Prosecutors alleged that Carrillo, of 30 years, murdered the past 04 April to your daughter Joanna, age three, her son Terry, age two, and daughter Sierra, age six . She herself recently confessed in a television interview that she had killed them to protect them and suggested that the minors had been victims of sexual abuse, something that has not been proven.
“I drowned them”, said Carrillo to a reporter from KGET-TV . The suspect added that she did it very gently. “ I hugged them, kissed them and apologized all the time “, he added when recounting how the events occurred. The maternal grandmother of the children found their lifeless bodies when she arrived at the apartment of Reseda. The children’s mother was no longer there.
The prosecutors were not may seek life in prison without parole for Carrillo as the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office did not file an indictment of special circumstances for multiple murders.
Since George Gascón assumed his position as district attorney last December, he has prohibited Los Angeles County prosecutors from filing this type of Charges that can lead to a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Gascón then announced a battery of progressive criminal justice measures.
The district attorney said in a statement that he had spoken with relatives and close people of the woman and her victims to offer them psychological help in traumatic and difficult moments. “Our heart goes out to the family of these children who are dealing with this tremendous loss,” Gascón said.
The children’s father, Erik Denton, had communicated to the authorities of the Los Angeles and Tulare counties that Liliana Carrillo had mental problems and that, therefore, he feared for the life of your little ones . A Tulare judge granted the man custody of his children but the children had not yet moved in with him when the events occurred.
Messages from the woman on social media and court documents make it clear that I was going through a depression postpartum . Carrillo had also embraced QAnon’s conspiracy theories and claimed that a group of pedophiles had taken control of her city, Porterville, or that she was solely responsible for the coronavirus pandemic.
Still it is not clear when Carrillo will be prosecuted for the charges he is accused of in the Los Angeles County . He is currently in custody at a Kern County Jail, where he faces charges related to
car theft and attempted car theft . After having an accident with her vehicle, the woman allegedly stole that of the person who stopped to help her and tried to do the same with a truck. The authorities arrested her hours after the murder in Tulare County at the wheel of precisely the stolen car.
