Mother of 2 girls found in shallow graves in Cleveland charged with murder
A 28-year-old woman faces two counts of aggravated murder after the remains of half-sisters aged 8 and 10 were found in suitcases, authorities said.
- On Monday, officers recovered two bodies in suitcases near Ginn Academy in Cleveland's South Collinwood neighborhood; Aliyah Henderson, 28-year-old woman, was arrested Wednesday and charged with two counts of aggravated murder, with a court appearance Friday at Cleveland Municipal Court.
- A dog walker alerted police after finding a suitcase in a field, leading detectives to use `intelligence-led policing strategies` to secure a search warrant, police said.
- The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victims as 10-year-old Amor Wilson and 8-year-old Mila Chatman, confirming via preliminary DNA testing they were half-sisters.
- DeShaun Chatman said he had been searching for his daughter Mila for five years before learning late Wednesday she was dead, and he sought emergency custody five times without success.
- Police say the investigation remains active and the cause of death has not been released, and anyone with information should call the Cleveland Police Homicide Unit at 216-623-5464.
