The mother of three children found dead Saturday morning in Reseda remains in custody hours after their bodies were found inside an apartment, authorities said.
Liliana Carrillo, 30, has been described by police as the “sole suspect” in the deaths of her children, who all appear be under the age of 5, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Their bodies were found inside an apartment in the 8000 block of Reseda Boulevard at 9:30 a.m., police said.
