<p>In an inexplicable moment of candour, a Houston woman casually admitted to drowning her two minor children in a bathtub and stashing their bodies beneath a nearby home, Friday<br />
Sheborah Thomas, told a man helping her pack her belongings Sunday that she had killed the boy and girl he and other neighbors often saw playing in the park, investigators said.<br />
Thomas, 30, is alleged to have drowned her son, Orayln (Ray Ray) Thomas, 7, and daughter, Kahana Thomas, 5.</p>

<p>The is alleged to have also said she tried burying her children in the backyard, but later hid their bodies under a neighbor’s home instead.<br />
“She was so matter of fact about it, he didn&#8217;t think she was serious. He thought she was joking,&#8221; Houston police spokesman Kese Smith said. &#8220;He continued to help her pack.&#8221;<br />
The neighbor then drove Thomas to the nearest police precinct after realizing the woman never faltered in her answer, repeatedly saying she killed two of her three children.<br />
Her 12-year-old son was with his father at the time, according to Houston police.<br />
Thomas faces charges of capital murder of a person under 6 after police announced they found the two children&#8217;s bodies exactly where she had said they could find them.</p>

<p>Thomas is said to have fed Orayln and Kahana after picking them up from daycare on Friday. According to a probable cause affidavit read in court Monday, she then drew a bath, calling her daughter into the bathroom: &#8220;She grabbed (the daughter) by the head and forced her underneath the water until she stopped moving,&#8221; the affidavit read. &#8220;After she wasn&#8217;t moving and she wasn&#8217;t breathing, she took the body out of the water and placed her in the bedroom.&#8221;<br />
She is quoted as stating that she then called for her son to come into the bathroom. She struggled with her own son but &#8220;continued to force his head underneath the water until he stopped struggling, he stopped moving.&#8221;<br />
The investigators said she left them under a neighbor&#8217;s house the following day.<br />
Sheborah Thomas wass remanded without bond, Monday, as investigators tried to determine a possible motive.<br />
Her children were “just innocent, growing kids,” she said of her nephew and neice.<br />
“This is the type of stuff that you see on TV,” said Kita Thomas-Smith. “To actually feel it yourself is devastating.”<br />
A daycare worker last saw Orayln and Kahana on Friday during a school talent show.<br />
“They told the bus driver, we’ll see you Monday,” Sophia Faultry said. “It’s just hurtful. Those children didn’t deserve that.&#8221;<br />
Although, Thomas and her children had only lived in thearea for a few months but during that time, police had been called to the address a number of times, but for “nothing major.”<br />
It was unclear if Thomas has a history of mental health problems. However, she had several prior convictions for misdemeanors, including theft and the failure to identify one&#8217;s self to an officer.</p>

<p>She had also been visited by child welfare officials with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Service. Spokeswoman Tejal Patel would not disclose the nature of those visits.<br />
She added, though, that DFPS officials will conduct a &#8220;top to bottom review&#8221; of the family&#8217;s history.<br />
Thomas and her husband,Danny Ray Thomas, filed for divorce in 2012, but it was never finalized.Thomas is currently serving a three-year sentence for possession of a controlled substance.<br />
This case is remniscent of another Houston mother, Andrea Yates, who drowned her five children in a bathtub more than 15 years ago. A case which sparked a national debate on postpartum depression and psychosis. Yates was convicted of the murders, a year later in 2002. Ultimately the verdict was overturned and a retrial found her not guilty by reason of insanity. She is being treated at a state mental institution in Kerrville.</p>

<p>Kita Thomas-Smith, whose brother married Sheborah shortly before the birth of the 7-year-old, said she had never seen the children&#8217;s mother exhibited signs of mental illness.<br />
&#8220;This is the type of stuff that you see on TV,&#8221; said Kita Thomas-Smith, the children&#8217;s aunt. &#8220;To actually feel it yourself is devastating. It&#8217;s hurtful. It&#8217;s ridiculous. They were just innocent, growing kids.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;There&#8217;s no reason you&#8217;d do this to your kids,&#8221; she said, adding Thomas could have taken them to a police station or to Child Protective Services if she didn&#8217;t want them.</p>
