The Children however didn't die as a 911 call from their father Thomas Booth saved them.

Booth was said to have gone upstairs where he found his wife in her underwear and the children gushing blood.

He quickly called 911 after wrapping the children’s wounds to stop the bleeding.

She said she took the action because her husband, Thomas Booth, who is an Army Staff Sergeant, got “very annoyed when the children cry and if she killed the children the house would be quiet for Thomas.”

According to detective’s statement Christina vomited and broke down crying several times during interrogation and yelled about Thomas never helping with the kids.
