An Atlanta woman was charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of two of her three young children at an apartment complex, police said Saturday. The boys, ages 2 and 1 were found dead late Friday night. A third boy, 3 years old, was not hurt, police said.

After questioning the mother, 24-year-old Lamora Williams, police charged her Satruday.

Williams told police she came home around 11 p.m. Friday and found the boys dead, police said. She told police she left around noon Friday, and the children were in the care of a female cousin.

However, neighbors disputed that story, claiming that Williams has left the children home alone before.

"She don't ever have anybody here with these children," the neighbor said.

Police said the children had obvious injuries, including burns.

A neighbor showed a photograph that shows police removing a huge piece of evidence: the entire oven from inside the apartment. It has been placed in a truck.
