YUBA COUNTY, Calif. — A Linda mother is accused of drowning her two young boys in their home,
the Yuba County Sheriff's Office said Thursday afternoon.
The mother was identified as 25-year-old Courtney Williams, who was arrested on suspicion of homicide.
“The tragic loss of five-month-old Holden and his two-a-half-year old brother Ronin reverberates throughout our department and into the community,” Yuba County Sheriff Wendell Anderson said in a statement. “There are no words to adequately describe the sadness we feel for the family at this time.”
Deputies said the father called the Sheriff's office just before noon to report the drowning at his home on Sunshine Avenue in Linda.
Arriving deputies found the two children in the bathroom, despite CPR and efforts to save them, the kids were pronounced dead at the scene.
Deputies said the father learned of the drowning after he came home for lunch and his wife told him that she "hurt the children." After searching the home, he found his boys in a bathtub.
