( 4UMF NEWS ) Mom Kills 9-Year-Old In Botched Suicide:
A hooker mom who seemingly doted on her 9-year-old son suddenly snapped and killed the boy, the city’s second horrifying episode of child murder in as many days, police said Saturday.
The Brooklyn woman — identified by police sources as Tenika Revell, 40 — called 911 just before 11 p.m. Friday, police said.
Revell coldly told the operator that she killed her child and had then taken pills to end her own life, police said.
Cops rushed to the Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment and found the woman alive. But her son Bernard could not be revived.
Revell was taken to Woodhull Medical Center where she was being evaluated Saturday, police said. Police sources said she had more than two dozen prior arrests, including several for prostitution.
It was not immediately clear why Revell killed her son, police said.
