Georgia Mom Kills Her 3 Children and Herself

COBB COUNTY, Ga. —Police have released the scene, but the investigation continues after police said a mother killed three children, and then killed herself.

Cobb County police identified the mother as Kisha Holmes, of Austell. They did not release the names of the children, but said the victims were a 9-month-old girl, a 4-year-old boy and a 10-year-old boy.

A frantic 911 call led police to the Walton Crossing Apartments in Austell. Police said a maintenance man found the bodies.

"I actually heard him running down the steps, but I just heard him say, 'Maintenance man, maintenance man,'" said neighbor Reshaun Johnson.

Johnson could tell the maintenance man saw something he didn't like.

"My understanding he was going in for routine maintenance, something to do with the air ducts, the vents and when he went in he discovered the bodies of multiple people inside," said Sgt. Dana Pierce, with the Cobb County Police Department.

Cobb County police finished collecting evidence Tuesday night in the apartment, but say the reason for the crime is still unclear.

"Tragedy. People are just going through so much stuff you just never know," one neighbor told Channel 2’s Carl Willis. "I have kids, there's no way possible I could ever do anything like that to my kids."

The medical examiner's office now has the bodies of Holmes and the children.

When Willis spoke with police Tuesday night, they told him they will now contact daycares and schools to put together a timeline of events that led to the incident.

"I just I just pray for the family," said neighbor Roland Milton.

Neighbors say Holmes appeared to be a single mother who kept to herself.

Police say the children's fathers are being contacted. But it's not clear if anyone else lived in the apartment.

"Just a total loss for words. All we can do is just pray," one neighbor said.
