BROWNSVILLE, Texas (CNN) -- The bodies of three young children were found inside a one-bedroom apartment near downtown Tuesday night, and police have detained the parents, said Brownsville Police Homicide Detective Sgt. Jimmy Manrrique.
Two of the bodies were found inside trash bags, the third was on the bed, police said. The children --ages 3, 1 and two months -- were two sisters and a brother.
At least two of them had been decapitated, said Manrrique.
"It was horrible -- shocking," said Manrrique, a 16-year police veteran. "Seeing a child that's been decapitated -- an infant."
Detectives and police crime units were still at the scene late Tuesday night, waiting on search warrants to go back inside the home.
Brownsville is about 277 miles south-southeast of San Antonio on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Couple charged with capital murder in children?s slayings

By BRITTNEY BOOTH
The Brownsville Herald
The Brownsville couple accused of killing their three young children ? reportedly decapitating all three ? were each charged with three counts of capital murder and denied bond at their arraignment Wednesday morning.
John Allen Rubio and Angela Camacho were dressed in orange jail jumpsuits as they stood in front of Brownsville Municipal Court Judge Reynaldo Garza III at 8:15 a.m. at the Brownsville Police Station.
Garza spoke to each separately, Rubio first in English then Camacho in Spanish. He asked if they understood that they were being charged with three counts of capital murder and then read them their rights. Both answered yes and said they had no questions.
Cameron County Assistant District Attorney Karen Betancourt said the couple were being charged with capital felony counts for "causing the death of three children under the age of 6," "all three children decapitated."
Betancourt asked that they be denied bond as they had admitted to the crime and there was evidence "to hold them on no-bond status," she said.
Garza explained to both Rubio and Camacho that they would be held without bond and said the possible punishment for the two ranged from life in prison to the death sentence.

Police said the couple decapitated a baby boy, around 1 year old, and two other children under age 6. The 1-year-old?s body was found on a bed; the other two were in black plastic bags inside the apartment complex at Eighth and Tyler streets.
A couple visiting the family discovered the gruesome scene Tuesday night and waved down a patrolling police officer.
The couple are in their early 20s, police said.
After the police conclude their investigation, the case will be presented to the district attorney?s office for grand jury review. The last death penalty case tried in Cameron County was in 1999, when Ruben Gutierrez was found guilty of stabbing an 85-year-old woman with a screwdriver, Betancourt said.
About 20 people attended the arraignment, including Rube?s aunt Ana Garcia whom police questioned for about a half-hour after the hearing.
"I really can?t believe he did it," she told The Brownsville Herald outside the police station. Garcia?s sister is Rubio?s mother. "If he says he did it, he probably did. He?s a very happy person, a sweet person. I?m shocked."
Garcia said she had little contact with her nephew since she moved back to Brownsville three years ago, and only knew the two older children.
She said the couple was common law husband and wife, and Camacho is the mother of all three children. Rubio, a Porter High School graduate, is the father of two, she said.
"He was a good father," Garcia said.
When she saw her nephew in the courtroom, she said," it was like a different person."

The baby killers:

Only God knows what type of childhood trauma these child killers might have gone through, but nothing justifies what they did. The death penalty is not enough for these two abominations. They should do to them what they did to their own children. They should do it to them slowly, blow by blow.

Texas Woman Charged in Killings of 3 Kids
By LYNN BREZOSKY

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) - A woman and her
common-law husband were charged with murder Wednesday after police found the bodies of a decapitated 1-year-old boy and two young siblings in the family's small, run-down apartment.

The children's 23-year-old mother, Angela Camacho, and John Allen Rubio, the 22-year-old father of the youngest child, were being held without bond, according to police Lt. Henry Etheridge.

The 1-year-old's body was found Tuesday night on a bed, and the others were in garbage bags beside it, police in this border town said.

Chief Carlos Garcia said he didn't know the conditions of the two bagged bodies because police were waiting for a search warrant to proceed.

The children had apparently been dead since Monday night, Garcia said. None was older than 5, he said.

Garcia described the one-bedroom apartment as bloody and messy. ``There's clothes, trash, all sorts of things thrown all over,'' he said. ``Very poor, very trashy ... in the worst conditions that anyone could live in in the United States.''

The bodies were found after a couple walked into
the apartment, discovered the bloody scene and flagged down passing police officers, the chief said. They were being interviewed by police.

``It tears my heart. I want to cry. How can people do this?'' said Nancy Garcia, 46, who lives nearby and said she grew up in the
neighborhood. ``There's help out there.''

Brownsville is on the US-Mexican border, about 230 miles south of San Antonio.

That is just horrible! It's monsters like these that make me glad this country has the death penalty. I just wish it would be used much more often. These sick creeps definitely deserve it.

That's awful. Those poor kids...and those horrible people. They deserve everything that anyone wants to inflict on them.

how could anyone do that to a poor defenceless child, especially if it's their own? That's just sad...

that's so sad...

Charlie Max · 03-12-2003, 11:59 PM

It's so shocking how some people have become so de-humanized. Only a person with a defective mind mixed with drugs would do something as horrendous as that, is my best guess.

There's a big probability that tonight, many parents are hugging and telling their children they love them.

That is sick! I think after reading this, I've heard of almost all the sick people in the world. Decapitating an infant is absolutely disgusting.
