Liliana Carrillo stabbings latest – ‘Killer mom’ accused of killing her three kids ‘was ill for months’ before attack

THE mother suspected of stabbing her three young children to death in Los Angeles had been “unwell” for several months and was embroiled in a bitter custody dispute, reports say.

Liliana Carrillo, 30, was arrested on Saturday afternoon in Tulare County – around four hours north of where her three children, Joanna, Terry and Sierra, were found dead in Reseda, California.

Hours earlier, the children’s grandmother had called police after she discovered the three kids – ages three, two, and six months – dead inside an apartment complex, with Carillio nowhere to be seen.

The 30-year-old mother was supposed to hand over the kids to their father – and her ex-boyfriend – Erik Denton on Sunday, he told the Los Angeles Times.

Denton told the outlet he had sought custody of the children on March 1, whom he said had been acting mentally unstable.

“Liliana was very sick, and this is not – she was not herself, and it’s been going on for several months that she has been unwell,” Denton’s Cousin, Teri Miller, concurred to KTTV.
