En 21-årig kvinna i Virginia står inför mordanklagelser efter att myndigheter uppgett att hon dränkt sina 17 månader gamla tvillingsöner i ett badkar. Amaya Dixon togs i förvar efter ett beslut från en storjury. Dödsfallen inträffade förra månaden i hennes lägenhet i Richmond.

Amaya Dixon greps på torsdagen misstänkt för två fall av mord och två fall av barnmisshandel. Domstolshandlingar visar att anklagelserna härrör från hennes söners död i en lägenhet i 1000-kvarteret på German School Road. Richmond-polisen anlände till platsen omkring klockan 20:39 den 17 april efter att ha mottagit en rapport om skadade barn.
