(CNN) -- South Carolina authorities will bring murder charges against a woman who admitted she suffocated two of her children, who were found in a car submerged in a river Monday, Orangeburg County Sheriff Larry Williams said in a news conference Tuesday.
Shaquan Duley, 29, told police she smothered her toddler sons at the Trumps Inn motel in Orangeburg by placing her hands over their mouths, Williams said. He added that the children were dead before she put them in their car seats and drove them to the river while "trying to find a way to discard the bodies."
Williams said Duley is not a hardened criminal, but an angry, upset, unemployed woman who felt she had no way to support her kids.
"She just wanted to get rid of the children, as sad as it may be," Williams said.
