PHOENIX (KPHO/Gray News) — An Arizona woman is set to spend the rest of her life behind bars for killing her three young children in Phoenix five years ago.
On Friday, a judge sentenced 27-year-old Rachel Henry to three life sentences for the murders of 3-year-old Zane Henry, 1-year-old Miraya Henry and 7-month-old Catalaya Rios.
“I’ve dedicated my career to protecting children, and it’s hard to comprehend how any parent could take the life of their own,” Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said. “Thank you to the prosecution team for ensuring justice was served for these three innocent children.”
Phoenix police and fire crews responded to a home near 24th Street and Vineyard Road, north of Baseline Road, on the night of Jan. 20, 2020, after a great-aunt reported finding the children unresponsive.
All three were pronounced dead at the scene.
