Evil mum Lamora Williams will die in prison after murdering two toddlers by cooking them in oven
Lamora Williams, 24, has been convicted of the murder of one-year-old Ja'Karter Penn and two-year-old Ke'Yaunte Penn. She will spend the rest of her life in prison
An evil mother who murdered her two toddler sons by placing them in an oven and turning it on will spend the rest of her life behind bars.
On Friday, Lamora Williams, 24, was sentenced to life in prison without parole plus 35 years for killing one-year-old Ja'Karter Penn and two-year-old Ke'Yaunte Penn back in October 2017. A court in Atlanta, Georgia, heard that the woman called 911 claiming that she had found the children dead after returning from work.
She told the dispatcher: "When I came in, the stove was laying on my son, on my youngest son's head, and my other son was laid out on the floor with his brains laid out on the floor. I don't know what to do. I just came home from work." The children's father, Jameel Penn, said Williams video-called him after killing the toddlers - and he contacted police immediately after seeing the kids motionless on the ground.

He said: "I just received a call from my child's mother that my … two of my … two dead babies; my sons are dead in an apartment. She video called me and I seen it. I really think they are dead." He described the scene as something "like a real horror movie" in an interview with WSB-TV in 2017.
Autopsy reports showed that the two children had their heads stuck in an oven that was tipped over. According to Law & Crime, an arrest warrant said Williams "knowingly and intentionally" killed her children "by placing them in an oven and turning it on."
However, the publication reported that the medical examiner disagreed with police claims that the children had been burned. The medical examiner said: "These thermal changes appear to be entirely from dry heat and changes from prolonged exposure to heat. It would require an extensive amount of time to get to this degree."
But despite the police and the medical examiner disagreeing, prosecutors stuck with the officers' version of events - and contradicted the defendant's narrative, according to a courtroom report by Atlanta-based Fox affiliate WAGA. Williams was found guilty on two counts of murder, four counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of cruelty to children in the first degree, two counts of concealing the death of another, one count of cruelty to children in the second degree, and one count of giving a false statement.
