Mom Charged in Children's Killings Was in Custody Battle
An Arizona woman is accused of fatally poisoning her two children a day before she was supposed to turn them over to their father as part of a custody agreement issued in a courtroom last week, an attorney for the woman’s ex-husband told NBC4 on Monday.
Marilyn K. Edge, 42, of Scottsdale, Ariz., lost custody of her children on Wednesday after a judge ruled “extreme parental alienation” on her part, said Marian Weeks, the attorney for Edge’s ex-husband, Mark.
Mark Edge was decorating his children's rooms on Sunday for their expected homecoming when he got the call from Santa Ana police informing him that his children were dead. He had to be hospitalized after hearing the news, Weeks said.
"He could not talk to me on the phone at all," Weeks said. “It’s tragic. It’s just tragic … Never in our minds did we imagine that she’d murder them.”
Mark Edge had previously spent a year in Afghanistan as a U.S Air Force reservist.
