, ages 5 and 7, and then hid their bodies under a neighbor’s house in 2016, pleaded guilty to two counts of murder on Monday in exchange for 40 years in prison, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said.
Investigators said Sheborah Latrice Thomas drowned her daughter, 5-year-old Kayiana Thomas, in the bathtub of the family’s home in the 3000 block of Tierwester in southeast Houston on Aug. 12, 2016. Thomas put her daughter’s body on a bed, then called her 7-year-old son, Araylon “Ray Ray” Thomas, to the bathroom and drowned him, Ogg said.A day later, investigators said Thomas put the children’s bodies into a trashcan behind the house and went to her job, and tried to get her paycheck early.
According to investigators, Thomas started packing up her house and throwing things away. She told a friend that she had drowned the children and had to leave town, but he thought it was a joke. When he realized she was not joking, investigators said he asked more questions and she apparently showed him where the bodies could be found. He then contacted the Houston Police Department.“Justice means that Sheborah Thomas is being held responsible for taking these children’s lives,” Assistant District Attorney James O’Donnell said.
Assistant District Attorney Sarah Moss agreed, saying, “It gives the family closure, and the children can finally be at rest.”
