Mitchelle Blair, who is also charged with child abuse, cried out after her surviving son testified. “Everybody want to know, yes I did kill her,” Blair screamed as she was led out of the courtroom. The bodies of two of Blair’s children, 9-year-old son Stephen Berry, and daughter Stoni Blair, 13, were found in a freezer in Blair’s Detroit home in March, though the state claims they were killed in 2012 and 2013, [the Daily Mail reports](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3014147/Mother-accused-killing-son-9-daughter-13-eldest-daughter-body-freezer.html "undefined"). One of Blair’s surviving children has detailed abuse he suffered at the hands of his mother, including being beaten and burned. \[[WXYZ](http://www.wxyz.com/news/child-custody-hearing-today-for-mitchelle-blair-mom-accused-of-killing-kids "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3909499/mitchelle-blair-outburst/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3909499/mitchelle-blair-outburst/"},"headline":"Mother Accused of Killing Two of Her Kids Screams Confession in Court","datePublished":"2015-06-04T17:56:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:55:45.069Z","description":"\"Everybody want to know, yes I did kill her\"","url":"https://time.com/3909499/mitchelle-blair-outburst/","keywords":["Crime"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3909499/mitchelle-blair-outburst/","name":"Mother Accused of Killing Two of Her Kids Screams Confession in Court"}}]}] ```
