[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Naomi Elkins, 27, was arrested at her home in the predominantly Orthodox Jewish community of Lakewood Tuesday night and was charged with two counts of murder, possession of a weapon and other offenses relating to the deaths of her two children, ages just 1 and 3.
She told authorities who rushed to the scene that she felt she 'needed to kill the children for religious purposes' after they returned home from Giggles Daycare - where she worked and where the children attended, according to arrest documents obtained by the New York Post.
She is said to have told the officers she realized she had done something wrong, and called Hatzolah Medical Services - a Jewish volunteer ambulance program - telling dispatchers there she had hurt her children.
As cops questioned Elkins in the aftermath, she reportedly noted she previously struggled with bad feelings when her husband left on a business trip on May 24.
She said she dropped her kids off at the daycare that day, and spent the night praying, according to 6ABC.
Elkins' family now says she has a history of mental health issues.
