A California couple has been found guilty of killing two of their children in a case that has shocked the local community. Maurice Jewel Taylor Sr., 39, and Natalie Sumiko Brothwell, 48, were convicted of murder and child abuse charges this week. The terrible crimes happened at their home in Lancaster on November 29, 2020, which was the Sunday right after Thanksgiving.
According to The Sun, the parents killed their 13-year-old daughter Maliaka and their 12-year-old son Maurice Jr. by stabbing them and cutting off their heads. The children were found in different rooms of the house. But what made this case even worse was what happened next. Taylor and Brothwell made their two other sons, who were only 8 and 9 years old, look at the dead bodies of their brother and sister. After that, they locked the two young boys in their rooms and did not give them any food for multiple days.
