A 27-year-old New Jersey mother is accused of killing her two children in their home on Tuesday in a horrific and brutal attack.
Lakewood Township Police responded to a home on Shenandoah Dr. just before 5 p.m. for a report of two children in cardiac arrest.
The Ocean County Prosecutor says Naomi Elkins, 27, of Lakewood, was charged with two counts of murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon.
Officials didn't release the sexes of the children but local media reported they were both girls.
Responding Officers found Hatzolah Medical Services attempting to render lifesaving aid to a one and three year-old.
Their efforts were unsuccessful, and both children were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said that both children had been drowned and the one year-old girl had been stabbed.
Police say Elkins was responsible for the deaths of both of her children.
She was taken into custody at the scene without incident.
Elkins is being held at the Ocean County Jail until she has a detention hearing.
