"ASHEVILLE, NC — Asheville police have charged a 33-year-old woman with first-degree murder after finding the bodies of her two children in their homes.

"Lt. Wally Welch said that warrants issued Saturday charge Naiyana Patel in the deaths of 8-year-old Jiya Patel and 4-year-old Piya Patel. Welch said Ms. Patel was admitted to Mission Hospital after undergoing surgery for self-inflicted wounds to her head.
