Mother Confesses to Murder
“I killed both of them. I told you”, were the chilling words a 911 operator heard on that fateful day. Saiqa Akhter is accused of killing her two children and she is not fighting the charges in any way.
A resident of Irving in Dallas, Texas Akhter said that she had first tried to poison the children by giving them bathroom cleaner. But when they refused to touch it, she used a wire to strangle both of them. Akhter then called 911 to confess. In the recording of the 911 call, Akhter can be heard saying that she killed them and that they were lying motionless and turning blue. Upon questioning by the operator as to why she had killed them, Akhter said that both of them were autistic and she didn’t want them to be like that. She also said that she wanted normal kids.
Akhter has been officially charged with capital murder for the murder of her son five year old Zain Akhter, who is also her eldest child. The same charge is pending for the murder of Faryaal Akhter her two year old daughter. She has asked for a court appointed attorney to represent her, but so far she has not been assigned one as yet. Although prosecutors have not stated their position, Akhter faces the possibility of a death penalty. If the prosecution decides to be lenient she will probably spend the rest of her life in prison.
The father of the children, Rashid Akhter, has not made any statements so far.
