Tragic Murder Case: Lancaster Couple Convicted of Stabbing and Decapitating Children
A Lancaster couple was found guilty of murder in the Antelope Valley Courthouse for stabbing and decapitating their son and daughter. Maurice Jewel Taylor and Natalie Sumiko Brothwell were convicted of two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances and child abuse. They face life in prison without parole and additional sentencing. The horrific crime took place in their Lancaster home, where they killed their children and forced their surviving sons to witness the aftermath. The couple's arrest came after Taylor's clients raised concerns about his absence during a workout session. The district attorney emphasized the importance of holding the perpetrators accountable for their actions. The fate of the surviving siblings remains undisclosed.
