A most shocking and despicable incident has revealed how a heartless mother ruthlessly stabbed her three little kids to death in a most gruesome manner.
Carol Ann Coronado
A court has sentenced a Californian mom who stabbed her three young daughters to death with a kitchen knife to serve life in prison without parole on Monday.
The heartless mother named Carol Ann Coronado, 32, was found covered in blood on a bed beside her lifeless children inside their working-class house south of LAX Airport on May 20, 2014.
NYdailynews reports that the woman injured herself with self-inflicted stab wounds after stabbing 2-year-old Sophia, 16-month-old Yazmine and 2-month-old, prosecutors said.
Although she pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity four months later, a judge found she was sane at the time of the unspeakable crime and convicted her of three counts of first-degree murder late last year after a bench trial. The revelation that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis did not help her case.
“She had a zoned-out look” as she was led away in handcuffs, neighbor Ashley Madrid, 27, told the Los Angeles Times in 2014.
Carol Ann Coronado's murdered kids
Her husband named Rudy Coronado was speechless when he discovered the shocking murder. He said he saw 'a demon' inside as he told of the fateful day.
However, he pleaded for leniency on behalf of his wife and asked the judge to send her to a mental hospital instead of jail, City News Service reported Monday.
The judge declined and said any treatment “will have to be in state prison.”
The motive for the unprovoked attack on the innocent kids is still unknown, but prosecutors said the woman might have wanted a revenge after the husband told her he was considering a divorce. Coronado’s lawyer has said he plans to appeal.
