Police arrested a woman and charged her with neglect in connection with the deaths of her two children in a Southwestside apartment complex.
Additional charges may be placed against, the mother, Ebyan Farah, 28, police said this afternoon.
Linda Jackson, an IMPD spokesperson, would not elaborate but said investigators “are not looking at any additional suspects.” She said autopsies had been completed but that additional testing was still being done to determine the cause of death.
The children, a boy, 3, and a girl, 5, were found “in a stage of rigor mortis in the front living room,” according to a police report
Firefighters found the children's bodies at Manchester Village Apartments in the 4600 block of Londonderry Court about 8:45 p.m. Sunday.
Police said said there were no signs of trauma or gunshot wounds on the bodies.
Farah's three other children were turned over to Child Protective Services, police said.
Residents of the apartment complex said they had seen a man and a woman arguing around 7 p.m. Sunday on the sidewalk outside the small, single-story apartment where the dead children were found. The residents of that apartment were rarely seen outside, but the children had been occasionally seen playing in front of the apartment.
Police were looking into reports that the people who were involved in the childrens’ deaths were immigrants from Somalia. Many people from that East African nation have come to the Indianapolis area since the outbreak of trouble in that area in recent years.
Dozens of residents were gathered outside Sunday night amid eight to 10 police cars, a crime scene van and several taxicabs whose presence was not immediately explained
