A young mother and her two infant children were strangled to death by her ex-con friend, police revealed on Friday, as the friend was charged with their murder.
23-year-old Heather Jackson’s body was found brutally slain at her home in Ohio on Saturday, alongside her three-year-old daughter Celina and son, Wayne, aged 18 months.
All three died of strangulation, a coroner found, and police are investigating the identity of a murder weapon.
The man allegedly behind the killings, 41-year-old Curtis Clinton, was charged with three counts of aggravated murder, seven months after being released from a 13-year term for assault and involuntary manslaughter.
Police say he was invited into Jackson’s home, where the bodies were later found.
