An Arizona mother killed her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son Saturday morning and told police she heard voices telling her to do it, according to the police.
Yui Inoue, 40, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder according to a report by the Arizona Republic.
Tempe police said Inoue flagged down an officer near her home in the southeast Phoenix suburb of Tempe around 7 a.m. Saturday. She told the police she was hearing voices telling her to kill her children.
Police said they had been called to the same apartment earlier Saturday morning because of a domestic dispute involving a husband and wife.
Tempe Police spokesman, Sgt. Steven Carbajal said, the couple was separated, and no one was arrested. The children were safe in bed at the time, and there was no apparent reason to call child welfare authorities.
