Detroit Mom Who Killed Her 2 Kids and Stuffed Them in Freezer Gets Life in Prison

A Detroit mom who killed two of her kids and stuffed their bodies in a freezer has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Mitchelle Blair pled guilty to the murders of her 13-year old daughter Stoni and 9-year old son Steven, and told the court she killed them because she believed they had sexually abused one of her younger children.

She told the court she “definitely meant to kill” Stoni, but murdered Steven by accident. “If I had killed Steven intentionally I definitely would be proud to say I did, but I didn’t,” she said in court last month. “I don’t feel no emotion for the death of them demons.”

The judge told Blair she “imposed the death penalty” on her own children according to the Detroit News.

The children had likely been killed in 2012 or 2013, but their bodies were found in March while bailiffs were evicting Blair and her two surviving children from their Detroit home. The kids were home-schooled, which is one reason why their deaths went undiscovered for so years, according to the Detroit News. Prosecutors say neither of the surviving children were sexually abused.

Blair expressed no remorse during her sentencing hearing Friday. “As horrendous as everyone thinks I am, that’s fine. But I’m the only one not lying about anything,” she said according to NBC.
