PHOENIX (AP) — Police in suburban Phoenix say a 22-year-old woman accused of drowning her 2-year-old twin sons says she did it because nobody loved them or her.
Mireya Alejandra Lopez was arrested Sunday at a home in Avondale. She’s jailed on two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder, with bail set at $2 million.
Lopez is also accused of trying to drown a 3-year-old boy identified as her stepbrother.
According to a probable cause statement released Monday, Lopez said she killed her sons because nobody loved them or her, and she didn’t want them to live a difficult life.
The statement also says Lopez said she takes medication for mental health conditions.
It’s not immediately clear if Lopez has an attorney who could be reached for comment.
