WEST HILLS, LOS ANGELES (KNX) – The mother accused of killing her three children in the family’s West Hills home had her arraignment postponed.
Angela Flores, 38, made her first court appearance Wednesday where she agreed to postpone the arraignment til’ August 10, according to City News Service.
Officials said she will stay in jail on $6 million bail.
Police responded to the family home on the 22500 block of Victory Boulevard Sunday morning for a reported assault with a deadly weapon. It was later revealed Flores’ teen son went next door to make the call to police.
Flores was arrested and police said she admitted to killing her children, 12-year-old Natalie Flores, 10-year-old Kevin Yanez and 8-year-old Nathan Yanez. Their cause of death have not been revealed.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón charged Flores with three counts of murder.
Flores also told police her teen son helped her in the murder. The teenager was also arrested and is currently being held at Sylmar Juvenile Hall without bail.
Neighbors told KABC that Flores was “acting erractically” Saturday night, with one neighbor saying Flores sitting outside the house.
“She started to scream, asking for the Bible. 'Where is my Bible?' Then she said 'You know, you know, I killed my kids.' But they think she was crazy. The police, they think that she was crazy," Blanca Hernandez said.
Another neighbor, Prisila Canales, told CBS L.A. she also heard screaming coming from the house.
"I heard someone screaming, 'My family is abusing me,' and all kinds of nonsense. I couldn't make out what it was." Prisila Canales said. "I guess at that time she was in our neighbor's yard ... burning a candle and she had the Bible out."
The Los Angeles Police Department is still investigating the case at this time.
