A Texas woman who is pregnant with her fourth child has admitted to killing two of her infant sons , the Houston Chronicle reports.
Twenty-year-old Kristi-An Walker confessed that she killed one of her sons in 2011, and one earlier this year. She was indicted last week on a murder charge and two counts of injury to a child, according to Angleton police Sgt. Kirk Coleman.
Coleman said Walker is accused of banging her 6-month-old son’s head against a door jamb on June 20 at her Angleton home. He said her 4-month-old son also suffered head trauma in April 2011 after Walker slammed him into his baby seat and the metal part of his bassinet.
“She said she did it on both occasions because she was frustrated with the kids crying and she couldn’t deal with the constant crying,” Coleman said.
Walker’s murder charge is connected to the death of the 6-month-old, and the injury charge is connected to both deaths. She remains in jail on a $1 million bond , and has no attorney listed for her.
Walker confessed that she had been abusing her 6-month-old for two months before his death in June. She didn’t call for medical help and someone — police won’t say who — called 911 early the next day. An ambulance was sent to the home, but the baby died at the hospital. She was arrested on July 26.
Kristi-An Walker’s 3-year-old son is currently in foster care, and she is at least 10 weeks pregnant with her fourth child. Coleman said jail officials are monitoring her closely, and that she showed “no real emotions” when she told investigators about her son’s death.
