DETROIT — A Detroit mother was arrested Tuesday after the frozen bodies of a boy and girl were found in a deep freezer in the family’s home, police said.

Court officers found the children’s bodies while carrying out an eviction order at the three-bedroom home in the apartment complex just east of downtown. An autopsy will determine how they died.

Police initially reported a woman’s body was found in the freezer, but later said it was actually the bodies of the two children in a plastic bag.

The boy was about 11 and the girl was 14, said Police Chief James Craig, who called it a “terrible find.”

The woman was not in the apartment when the court officers or police arrived. “One of the community members here … approached our officers and advised that they knew where the parent was located,” Craig said.

The children’s mother was found in a nearby apartment and questioned. She was arrested later Tuesday. Her name has not been released.

Two of the woman’s other children, ages 11 and 17, were found at a neighbor’s home and placed in protective custody.

The irony of it is that they live in a community named for MLK Jr. “White flight” could not possibly be to blame!
