A Georgia mother who brutally murdered her two young sons by placing them in an oven and then video-called their father to show him the horrific scene has been sentenced to life in prison.
Lamora Williams, 24, was convicted of multiple charges, including murder and aggravated assault, on Friday, Nov. 15, according to PEOPLE.
The tragic deaths of Ja'Karter Penn, 1, and Ke'Yaunte Penn, 2, were initially reported as accidental. Williams told police she found her sons dead when she returned home after leaving them with a caregiver.
However, investigators later determined she had placed the boys in the oven, which had been tipped over, either the night before or early that morning. Autopsy reports confirmed the cause of death was prolonged exposure to heat.
After the killings, Williams called her sons' father, Jameel Penn, via video chat to show him the aftermath. "It was like a real horror movie. It was Friday the 13th," Penn said in an interview with WSB-TV.
"When I saw my kid, how I saw my kid, that's when I knew what was going on." Penn later called the police, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Williams was arrested shortly after the crime and charged with murder, cruelty to children, and other offenses. Her mother later revealed that Williams had a history of mental health issues.
