An Atlanta-area woman has been arrested on murder charges after investigators say she killed one of her twin 4-year-old daughters and set fire to her apartment to conceal the death, burning the other twin.
Nicole Jackson, 27, was arrested Friday by East Point police and remains jailed in Fulton County with no bail set. She's charged with malice murder, felony murder, two counts of first degree cruelty to children and criminal attempt to commit murder.
I guess LE and the DA are waiting to make sure the fire was indeed arson, so they can that on the list as well, IMO.
Lock her up, lock her up, as they say -- and they did.
WTH is with that? Why did the leave the other twin in the house? That child will carry a heavy load for the rest of her life. Hoping that since she is only 4 y/o, the memory will be foggy.
"WTH is wrong with people?" we ask.
