The Solano County coroner’s office confirmed this afternoon that two 3-year-old girls found dead in a burning Fairfield apartment Tuesday night died of multiple stab wounds and cutting wounds.The girls were identified as Tori and Lily Ball. One of the girls was stabbed in the abdomen and nearly decapitated one child.
there was a sword, a bloody katana-style Japanese fighting sword, in the hallway, and a bottle of pills.
McCarrick is also linked to a 2006 domestic violence case in San Diego as well as a child support case from 2009 involving the twins' father, Michael William Ball.
FAIRFIELD CA. -- Police were left Wednesday to investigate the "horrific and tragic" deaths of twin 3-year-old girls who they say were killed by their mother before she set the apartment on fire and attempted suicide.
The girls were discovered at about 10:40 p.m. by firefighters responding to a water flow alarm at The Summit apartment complex on the 3000 block of N. Texas Street.
When police and fire officials entered the apartment, they found the two young girls dead with laceration wounds that could not have been caused by the fire, Police Lt. Darrin Moody said at a press conference Wednesday.
"At this point, all evidence and everything we have done to this point, points to an attempted suicide by a mother and homicide of the Responding to a fire, police and fire officials discovered the bodies of 3-year-old twin girls, along with their mother suffering from several self-inflicted lacerations.
The mother, who police have identified as 28-year-old Monica Christine McCarrick, was also in the apartment when authorities arrived, he said. She had several lacerations that police say appeared to be self-inflicted.
"We have no evidence to show that anyone else was in the apartment," Moody said. "There is no way this was done from the outside."
Before fire crews arrived at the scene, they received a second call from a nearby resident who reported seeing smoke and flames coming from the third-story apartment unit, Moody said.
"The door and windows to the apartment were locked from the inside," Moody said. "There were neighbors that attempted to get inside, but were unable to accomplish that before the fire department arrived."
A Fairfield investigation team arrived at the scene to take over the investigation of the case that is still in what Lt. Darrin Moody referred to as in its "preliminary stages." Police are continuing to investigate, Moody said.
"This was a horrific scene" Fairfield Police Chief Walt Tibbet said.
McCarrick was taken by air ambulance to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek where she was rushed into surgery, Moody said.
"Due to the fact that her injuries last night were life-threatening, she could not speak. She was taken into surgery last night and this morning the detectives will be following up with this," he said early Wednesday.
McCarrick is now out of surgery and is listed in stable but critical condition. She will be booked in Solano County Jail when she is released from the hospital.
McCarrick was arrested on suspicion of two counts of murder, two counts of child abuse resulting in death, one count of arson and one count of destruction of evidence.
According to Moody, McCarrick recently moved to Fairfield for job-related reasons and has only lived in the city for the past few months.
A search of McCarrick's Facebook page led to a community college in Maryland and a Pennsylvania church baptism notice for the twins, Tori Margaret and Lily Teri Ball, dated September 2008. Sheriffs-Coroners officials confirmed the toddlers' identities.
A single bunch of pink roses and a burning candle sitting at the base of the staircase leading up to the apartment complex where McCarrick and her daughters had lived since September of this year, served as a sad tribute Wednesday morning to the slain toddlers.
"She pretty much kept to herself," said neighbor Andre Douglas, who lives in the apartment directly below McCarrick. "You only saw them when they were coming and going."
Douglas was at home Tuesday night and recalls hearing several loud bangs -- different from the typical thudding of children playing."It was a lot more intense than would be normal," he said.
