New Jersey mom charged in deaths of 2 children found bound in vehicle
HILLSBOROUGH, N.J. - Authorities say a New Jersey mother has been charged with murder after police found the bodies of her two young children bound and restrained in the back of a disabled vehicle.
Somerset County prosecutors say 7-year-old girl and her 10-month-old brother were found early Tuesday by Hillsborough police. The officers had responded to a 911 call about the vehicle, which had left the roadway.
Their 36-year-old mother, Yuhwei Chou, was found with the vehicle, and officers soon discovered her children secured in a booster seat and a baby seat in the back.
The children were each bound and restrained, but further details were not disclosed.
It wasn’t known Wednesday if Chou has retained an attorney.
