Cops Believe Connecticut Mom Strangled 3 Kids Then Killed Herself

Police say officers were called to the home by someone who seemed distraught on the phone.

Police suspect a woman may have strangled her three children and then killed herself after they found all four dead at their Connecticut home on Wednesday evening. Sonia Loja, 36, was found in an outside shed, while the bodies of the children were located inside the house in Danbury, police said. The kids were identified as Junior Panjon, 12; Joselyn Panjon, 10; and Jonael Panjon, 5. Officers were called to the home at 6:30 p.m. by someone they said was crying over the phone. Investigators said that two other adults live in house with the family, but weren’t home when the incident happened. Though pending an autopsy, investigators believe Loja’s death was likely caused by asphyxia from hanging herself.
