SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- A woman from the Central Valley in the U.S. state of California has been jailed on a possible charge of homicide after she was found to have drowned her two twin babies in a motel, police said Thursday.
The 37-year-old mother, Heather Langdon, will be charged in the babies' death at the Virginia Motor Lodge Motel in Tulare County, Central Valley, local TV station Ksee quoted an officer of the Tulare Police Department as saying.
In response to an emergency call, police officers were dispatched to the motel earlier Thursday, and rushed the two babies to a local hospital, where they died later, said the TV report.
An owner of the motel said the mother and her two sons checked in Wednesday night after the police found them homeless, and the motel offered them a room for the night.
Police said the motel does not have a pool and are investigating where the children were drowned.
Authorities are looking into whether drugs or alcohol were involved in the deaths.
