The Night Brandi Worley Killed Her Children

Jason and Brandi Worley had been struggling in their marriage for a while. They had considered separating but ultimately decided to stay together for the sake of the children.
Eventually Jason discovered that Brandi was having an affair and that was the last straw. The day before the murders Jason filed for divorce against Brandi.
Brandi was unable to cope with the thought of her husband leaving her. After taking Charlee to dance practice in the evening, she returned home and told Jason she needed to go out to by pipe cleaners. Instead she went to the store and returned with a sharp combat knife.
She returned home were Jason and the children had gone to bed. Brandi went upstairs stabbed Charlee and Tyler in their necks, killing them. She then turned the knife on herself but couldn’t summon the strength to kill herself too.
Brandi then called 911 with her chilling admission. She calmly stated: “I just stabbed myself and killed my two children.”
Brandi then called her mother who rushed to the Worley’s house. It was only Brandi’s mother’s screams that alerted Jason, who was asleep downstairs, to the fact that something was seriously wrong. Brandi then calmly said to Jason: ‘Now you can’t take the kids from me.”
Police and paramedics rushed to the scene and found the lifeless bodies of the two children. The bodies were found in Charlee’s bedroom covered in blankets with the bloody combat knife laying nearby. Brandi was sitting calmly in the living room, bleeding from a stab wound on her neck.
Brandi told paramedics she wanted to die with her children. She was rushed to a local hospital and she eventually made a full recovery.
