An Illinois mother has been charged with murder after she allegedly killed her 2-year-old son before attempting to harm herself, as per shocking reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police and court records detail how a harrowing scene played out last week in the village of Frankfort, Illinois, when an infant boy was found hanging in the basement of his family home. His mother, 40-year-old Corie Walsh, was discovered upstairs in the bathtub \u2013 it\u2019s alleged she had tried to die by suicide.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

On Friday, September 4, Walsh was charged by police with three counts of first-degree murder.<\/p>\n

During their petition to deny her pretrial release, prosecutors drew eerie, direct comparisons to the trial involving Lindsay Clancy, the woman accused of murdering her three children in January 2023, even alleging that Walsh had\u00a0\u201crecently become very invested in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clancy\u2019s case, which dominated headlines across the US and beyond, ended in a mistrial on Friday.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

As per\u00a0NBC News, Walsh was \u201cactively discussing the case\u201d in group text messages with her friends up until 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 1.<\/p>\n

Three and a half hours later, the horrific, aforementioned scene at her home was discovered.<\/p>\n

Authorities\u00a0told how Frankfort police responded to the home just after 4 p.m. Tuesday on a report of an unresponsive child. Officers arrived to find a neighbor performing CPR on two-year-old Barrett Walsh, who she had found hanging in the basement.<\/p>\n

The infant was rushed to a local hospital, where he was sadly pronounced dead. The\u00a0Will County Coroner\u2019s Office\u00a0ruled his death an apparent homicide.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, officers found Walsh in the bathroom of an upstairs bedroom, lying in a tub fully dressed and \u201csurrounded by bloody water.\u201d The petition detailed how Walsh had been discovered with cuts to her wrists and thighs. She was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.<\/p>\n

Walsh told officers \u201cshe did this to her baby because he was the \u2018devil\u2019 and the \u2018anti-Christ,\u2019\u201d as per the filing.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0NBC, Walsh\u2019s husband was out of town at the time. An infant was home and unharmed, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Walsh allegedly made statements concerning harming her other children and planning to harm her husband upon his return home, prosecutors said in the filing.<\/p>\n

Once hospitalized, she described to officers \u201cthe manner in which she killed Barrett,\u201d which was consistent with evidence at the scene, the petition said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
