Fox News
A Kansas mother was convicted of first-degree murder Monday, two years after her 2-year-old son ingested methadone that was prescribed to her to treat heroin addiction.
Her toddler son, 2-year-old Zayden JayNesahkluah, was found dead in a pool of his own vomit on May 29, 2019 after spending the night in a motel with his mother, sister and one of his mother's friends. Prosecutors said that the child's DNA was found on the mouth of one of his mother's prescription methadone bottles, and that two drink containers – a Coke can and fruit punch juice bottle – tested positive for methadone, the Wichita Eagle reported.More Related News
