$2M Bond Set for Cleveland Mother Accused of Killing 2 Young Daughters, Burying Bodies in Suitcases

Aliyah Henderson faces two aggravated murder charges after her daughters' bodies were found buried in suitcases; a third child was placed with welfare authorities, officials said.

  • On Friday, a Cleveland judge set bail at $2 million for Aliyah Henderson at her arraignment in Cleveland Municipal Court, specifying $1 million per aggravated murder charge.
  • A dog walker discovered one suitcase near E. 162nd Street and Midland Avenue around 6 p.m. Monday, leading to the recovery of two bodies and identification of victims as 10-year-old Amor Wilson and 8-year-old Mila Chatman using DNA testing.
  • After a search-warrant execution Wednesday evening, authorities arrested and booked Henderson into the Cuyahoga County Jail, where she spoke little and has no prior record or history of violence.
  • A third child found in the home was placed in Department of Children and Family Services custody, and a vigil at the site at 4 p.m. Friday reflects community shock, Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd said.
  • It's not clear who will represent Henderson going forward as proceedings continue, and officials stressed confidentiality under Ohio law while urging tips to Cleveland Police Homicide Unit at 216-623-5464.
