A Houston woman said casually that she drowned her two children in a bathtub and stashed their bodies under a nearby home, according to authorities.

Sheborah Thomas, 30, 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.

The Houston Chronicle identified the children as son, Oraylyn (Ray Ray) Thomas, 7, and daughter, Kahana Thomas, 5.

The mother also said she tried burying her children in the backyard, but she hid their bodies under a neighbor’s home instead, according to investigators.

“She was so matter of fact about it, he didn’t think she was serious. He thought she was joking,” Houston police spokesman Kese Smith said. “He continued to help her pack.”

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.

Her 12-year-old son was with his father at the time, according to Houston police.

Thomas faces charges of capital murder of a person under 6 after police announced they found the two children’s bodies exactly where she had said they could find them.
