REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, PHOENIX -- An Arizona mother who prosecutors say stabbed her three young sons to death and stashed their bodies in a bedroom closet in her north Phoenix home has been indicted on murder charges, according to an indictment made public on Tuesday.

Octavia Rene Rogers, 29, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her sons, aged 2 months, 5 years and 8 years, in the Maricopa County Superior Court indictment handed down on Monday.

Police said the two oldest boys, Jaikare Rahaman and Jeremiah Adams, were found partially dismembered amid clothes and boxes inside the closet. Two-month-old Avery Robinson was discovered in a suitcase.

The cause of death was multiple stab wounds to each child, police said.
