  Mother charged with beating two sons to deathBy The Associated Press(7/22/05 - DYER, ID) — A northwest Indiana mother has been charged with two counts of murder.
Police say she beat her two sons to death with a
ten-pound dumbbell because she thought they'd be better off in heaven.
Magdalena Lopez was arrested after police officers answered a 911 call
and found her nine-year-old son Antonio and two-year-old son Erik dead in
separate rooms of the family home in Dyer, Indiana. A police report says
as officers approached the house, the mother walked out, her clothes and
feet spattered with blood. She told officers she had to kill the children
because she couldn't take care of them anymore, saying, "They're in a much
better place now."
Relatives say Lopez was being treated for bipolar disorder but had been
coping better recently. The boys' father was at work when he was told of
the deaths.
