A 28 year old woman with 5 children allegedly locked them all in a small closet measuring 6 feet wide and just 18 inches deep, pushed a bed against it’s door, and left the house for over 10 hours. When she returned 2 of her children were dead.

Edyan Farah stated that she was not in her right mind when she did this terrible act.The immigrant from Somalia came home over 10 hours after initially leaving her children, to find her 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son stiff, and not breathing. She then proceeded to take them down stairs where she did not try to revive them or call for help. The 3 surviving children, boys 5 years old and 1, and a 7 year old girl have been placed in foster care.

Farah is being held on $200,00 bond.
