Mother of decapitated children is charged with murder in Lancaster slayings
LA TimesNatalie Brothwell, 44, was arrested in connection with the decapitation deaths of two of her children, ages 12 and 13. A mother has been charged with murder in the deaths of two of her children, whose bodies were found decapitated inside the family’s Lancaster home late last year, authorities said. Prosecutors on Monday filed two counts of murder and two counts of felony child endangerment against Natalie Brothwell, 44, in connection with the deaths of her 12-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. Her arrest is the second tied to the gruesome deaths of 12-year-old Maurice Taylor Jr. and 13-year-old Maliaka Taylor, whose decapitated bodies were found Dec. 4. The children’s father, Maurice Jewel Taylor Sr., was charged in December with two counts each of murder and child abuse.
