The bond for the 28-year-old mother accused of murdering her two young daughters and burying them in suitcases in a field is set at $2 million.
Aliyah Henderson was arraigned Friday and is charged with two counts of aggravated murder. She has no prior record and no history of violence.
On Thursday, the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner identified the girls as 10-year-old Amor Wilson and 8-year-old Mila Chatman.
Henderson was arrested at her home Wednesday.
Cleveland police said a child was found inside the home with Henderson and appeared to be in good health. The child is now in the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services.
The bodies of Amor and Mila were found Monday evening in Cleveland’s South Collinwood neighborhood.
A man was walking his dog in the area when the dog picked up a scent. The man immediately called 911.
Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd said the victims had been there for some time.
“These were two young lives with their entire futures ahead of them,” Todd said.
Todd said detectives “worked tirelessly and with great care.”
On Friday, neighbors gathered in the field where the girls were found dead to mourn and honor their lives.
“It’s really, really sad. It’s just crazy how somebody could do that to their own baby, your own baby,” a neighbor said.
