DALLAS — A suburban Dallas mother accused of strangling her two young children told a 911 operator she killed them because they were autistic and she wanted "normal kids," according to a tape released Wednesday.

Irving police released the recording after Saiqa Akhter was charged with one count of capital murder in the strangling of her 5-year-old son, Zain Akhter, at the family's apartment Monday night. Police spokesman David Tull said another capital murder charge is pending in the slaying of her 2-year-old daughter, Faryaal Akhter, who died Tuesday night.

Police say the mother called 911 after attacking the children. In the recording, the woman identifies herself as Saiqa Akhter and repeatedly tells the operator she killed her two children. At one point during the recording, the woman hangs up and the dispatcher calls her back.

"I killed them. I killed both of them," she said. Later, she explained to the dispatcher that both children had turned blue and were lying on the bed in the master bedroom.

She told the operator she initially tried to poison the children with bathroom cleaner but they refused to drink it. When that didn't work, "I used a wire on their necks," she said.

When the operator asked the woman why she attacked her children, she said, "They're both not normal, not normal. They're autistic. Both are autistic." Pressed further, she said, "I don't want my children to be like that. ... I want normal kids."

Later, the dispatcher asked the woman what she was feeling. "Nothing," she responded.
At one point, water can be heard running in the background and the dispatcher asks what the woman is doing. She told the operator she was trying to wash the smell of cleaner off of her hands. The dispatcher then told the woman to go sit on a couch in the living room and wait for police.

At the end of the recording, police can be heard arriving at the home.

Akhter has requested a court-appointed attorney but one hasn't been assigned to her case yet, an Irving jail official said Wednesday. If convicted of capital murder, Akhter could face the death penalty, though prosecutors have not said if they will seek that punishment. Otherwise, she could face life in prison without parole.

Saiqa Akhter's uncle, Wasimul Haque, told the Dallas Morning News that his niece had been depressed since moving into a new apartment in Irving. Haque said Zain had autism and a severe speech impediment but had been improving and was in speech therapy.

The children's father, Rashid Akhter, emigrated from Pakistan in the late 1990s, the newspaper reported. He married Saiqa, who also is from Pakistan, several years later, it said.

Zain was buried Wednesday in Richardson, another Dallas suburb. Faryaal's funeral is scheduled for Thursday.

As the father of an autistic daughter, I'd volunteer to put a wire around that cunts neck!

Those poor, poor kids.  It has to be the most horrific thing for a young child to comprehend, that your own mother is choking the life out of you.

Feminist defense attorney coming forward and saying her husband's abuse made her do it in 3, 2, 1...

I'm surprised she's even being charged, as this was in Texas.  Normally the women who kill their kids aren't even charged.

But she'll walk.  Guaranteed.  Somehow it will be the husband's fault, or she will be mentally ill.  Whatever excuse is next in line...

We all know - and Ms. Lohan demanded action from the UN - that women should absolutely NOT have any consequences to their behavior.  

This is why the West is collapsing, because we are following millenia of sub-Saharan African performance in pitting gender vs. gender.  

That's bullshit please use an example to back up your statment.

A Feminist defense attorney would say it was just her choice to have a late, late, late, late term abortion.

ETA2 i dont know if texas has ever executed a woman...

Sensless

Even if she is a soulless, evil cunt, there are many other options than murdering her own children.  She gave birth to them and if there wasn't enough of an emotional bond in her heart to not do this, she truly is a horrible, horrible human being and has no place in society.  Do they still hang people in Texas?  Make sure you have to do it a few times before you get it right.

She'll walk. To anyone who foolishly believes otherwise: Have you forgotten about Andrea Yates?

Andrea Yates murdered all five of her children, aged six months to seven years, by drowning them one-by-one in the bathtub.

She was tried and convicted of capital murder.

She appealed, and her conviction was overturned.

She is now free to live her life at a low-risk/low-security mental facility in Texas.

Why would someone kill their kids just because they like to paint?

"Mom kills kids"................on that alone, it sounds like the Andrea Yates case.

But on the face of it, since I don't know the details of this case but do know them of that one, it is not.

And by the by, before someone jumps to that, Yates lawyer was not a feminist one.

My sole objection: no one has a right to take anything from anyone else, including their life. On the other hand they, the children, being autistic couldn't survive on their own so given the option of abandoning them or killing them the later is the more humane.

Add to that the fact that the world has more than enough people, let alone totally unproductive people.... I am going to cast the very popular opinion that I don't have a problem with it.

I get the feeling my AR15.com stock is about to plummet; it OK I have nomex underwear.

God damn her.

In before Libertarian/ Atheists defenders

To late

I drove by it today. They took the barb wire off the top of the fences

I wonder if Post Pardom Depression is going to be used as part f the defense. I'm not sure, but I think I head that name dropped alot during the Yates trial.

She has the blood of her own children on her hands, so I guess it doesn't matter

+1

Another one who agrees with killing the disabled

Isn't she housed in the Texas Hill Country?

Texas has executed women. Karla Faye Tucker off the top of my head...

Well, they DID stop short of calling the Kids "Untermensch"..... but not by much.  

Pretty sure Susan Smith wasn't a member of ROP.

Nor Andrea Yates... Pakistani or not, this Piece of Shit didnt kill her kids because of Islam, she killed her kids because she is a Piece of Shit......  Read the fucking quote to the 911 Operator "I want Normal Kids"  Fuck her where she breathes...

Thats just evil.

Sadly, I fear you may be right.

This bitch deserves to get the needle.

Yes, in Kerrville.

They'd fit right in with that spivey Black uniform complete witth lightening bolts and skulls.

If my wife did this, I'd play the sympathetic, "she needed help and I didn't realize it" husband role, and the first time she's not in custody or there's a slip in security, I'd [COC violation].

Somewhat in the same vein of putting down your own dog.

The DA would issue a press release: "We're not pressing charges, this is merely a case of a man taking care of his own business, we don't need to be involved."





 

Dumb bitch did it in Texas. Give her ol Sparky.

its my belief that those who support killing disabled children should be  promptly shot in the face



 

+1, by a horrible shot

Makes me wonder if the kids were really autistic............Alot of 'parents' have no clue about their own children.

when you get in a terrible car accident and are left disabled can we choke the shit out of you?

Nah!!!! Baseball bats and pretend they are Baby Harp Seals

Agreed. I bet some of these guys think Adolf had the right idea –– betterment of the species, right?

What you did there, I see it!

What about Darlie Routier? Isn't she still on death row?

unbelievable.  My son is autistic and this guy's (Eukatae) thoughts cast him in the realm of the sociopathic.  You were born in the wrong time. You should have been running the gas chambers at Birkenau.

My son is sometimes difficult to deal with (he is 22), but autistic kids can many times be a joy to have.  Ben was typically much more joyful and easy going  than a lot of kids while growing up and has a great sense of humor.  And you think they are subhuman.  That's evident from your post.  The straw man you set up must be a trolling post.

23rd trimester in her case

She will probably walk
