HOFFMAN ESTATES, Illinois (AP) -- The mother of a 9-year-old boy and 3-year-old girl who were fatally stabbed more than 200 times each inside their suburban Chicago home was charged Friday with two counts of first-degree murder, authorities said.

Tonya Vasilev, 34 -- a heavy bandage covering her left wrist -- appeared in court Friday afternoon and answered the judge's questions in a soft, shaking voice. The judge appointed a public defender to represent her and ordered her held without bail.

Investigators believe she was at home Wednesday night when Christian and Gracie Vasilev were killed. The children's father and a friend who had been living with the family discovered the bloody scene when they arrived home that evening.

Police found the boy lying just inside the front door and carried him outside, where they tried in vain to resuscitate him, said Hoffman Estates Police Lt. Rich Russo.

The little girl and the children's mother were both upstairs. The girl was dead, and her mother had what appeared to be minor cuts on her hands. Police recovered several knives believed to have been used to kill the children.

"It really doesn't get much worse than this," said Russo, who would not discuss a possible motive for the killings.

The autopsies showed that both children tried to fight off their attacker, he said.

The stabbings came five years after the couple's 3-month-old daughter died in a fire at an Elk Grove Village town house where the family then lived. The cause of the 2000 fire remains undetermined, but foul play was never suspected, said Larry Hammar, deputy chief of the Elk Grove Village Police.

Hammar said his department will investigate that fire again. The mother was home at the time of the blaze.

Village police said at the time that Tonya Vasilev left the baby in a carrier in the laundry room while she went to check on another of her children. She noticed smoke coming from the window a short time.

Happy Mother's Day,

The Gentler Sex

Why the media is trying to spin this so she looks as innocent as possible is beyond me:

Investigators believe she was at home Wednesday night when Christian and Gracie Vasilev were killed.

If it were a man the reporter would have said "Father repeated stabs his children to death, in their home, charges filed."

The mother of a 9-year-old boy and 3-year-old girl who were fatally stabbed more than 200 times each inside their suburban Chicago home was charged Friday with two counts of first-degree murder, authorities said.

"a 9-year-old boy and 3-year-old girl who were fatally stabbed more than 200 times each" They were stabbed, that's all they are saying. They are not implicating the mother one bit. Did they stab themselves, did the knife stab them by itself, was it a third person? We don't know, but the poor mother was charged and

appeared in court Friday afternoon and answered the judge's questions in a soft, shaking voice.

The poor deary, hasn't she been through enough. She even answered the judges questions. We should just let her go, sit her by the fireplace, wrap a warm blanket around her, and give her some hot chocolate.

Hell, She must be tired from STABBING HER CHILDREN 200 TIMES piece. She's had a hard day. Christ.

I like this part...

The autopsies showed that both children tried to fight off their attacker, he said.

"their attacker" not "their mother".

Probably because saying "The autopsies showed that both children tried to fight off their mother..." would be so much more vivid, dramatic and damning.

Funny how most feminists will agree with Noam Chomski's analysis of "worthy victims" when it comes to international political intrigue, but they never acknowledge the existance of this sort of gender-biased word play.

Or maybe they do and they think it's sexist that people have a pre-conception of women as nurturing, non-violent, protective... that marginalizes mothers who kill their own children and female psychopaths who sexually abuse prisoners, dontcha know?

I don't know, I am sort of confused...
Perhaps some feminists actually believe their own crap, and some are cynical and realize that they are lying and they just do it out of hatred and enjoy being so twisted. I bet this twistedness is what they are referring to when they speak about "celebrating femininity". Those are infinitely more putrid.
I wouldn't be sorry if all feminists suddenly died in horrible torture or something...
