NEW YORK (AP) A Queens woman has been charged with murder in the deaths of her twin babies.
The Queens district attorney’s office on Saturday announced charges against 23-year-old Danezja Kilpatrick. She faces two counts of murder in addition to a weapons charge and an endangerment charge.
Kilpatrick was arraigned Saturday morning and is scheduled to return to court on May 21.
The bodies of the six-week-old boy and girl were found Thursday in a fifth-floor apartment in the Woodside neighborhood by police conducting a wellness check.
According to the district attorney s office, the boy, named Dallis, was found in a bassinet with a knife protruding from his neck. The girl, named Dakota, was found in a plastic garbage bag under a kitchen sink.
“The defendant in this case became enraged when he spotted Black Lives
Matter protesters demonstrating in the neighborhood. The moments that followed were sheer terror for the victims, Katz said.
However, no one was injured in the incident.
Demonstrators protesting over the death of George Floyd had been in the area hanging up Black Lives Matter signs and rallying after someone was caught on camera ripping one down at the location, the New York Post reported. Floyd, a black man, died after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee onto the back of Floyd s neck. The trial for that former officer is ongoing.
