A California woman is claiming she drowned her three children in an effort to keep them away from their father amid a custody battle.
During an exclusive interview with
KGET-TV from the Lerdo Pre-Trial Facility in Kern County,
Liliana Carrillo, 30, admitted to drowning her children because she believed she was preventing them from "being tortured and abused on a regular basis."
“I drowned them ... I didn’t want them to be further abused,”Carrillo said. “I promised them when they were born that I was going to protect them.”
“I hugged them and I kissed them and I was apologizing the whole time,” Carillo added. “I loved my kids.”
