| quote: | According to prosecutors, Laney put her sons, Joshua, 8, Luke, 6, and Aaron, 14 months, to bed at about 9 p.m. and then went to her own room. Her husband, Keith Laney, followed at about 10:15 p.m.
Laney awoke at 11 p.m., tried to lock her sleeping husband in their bedroom and then went to Joshua and Luke's room. She escorted Luke to a rock garden in the front yard of their home, which is encircled by a white split-rail fence. Laney told her son to lie down with his head on a rock and she took another large rock, raised it over her head and brought it down onto his skull.
She then killed Joshua in the same manner. Both children were found with large stones lying on their chests.
Aaron was attacked with a rock in his crib but did not die. Laney put a pillow over his face to muffle the gurgling sounds the severely injured toddler was making. He was still gurgling when the first Smith County sheriff's deputy arrived shortly after 1 a.m. |
Reading that account makes me sick to my stomach...
