A Tennessee mother has been charged with fatally stabbing four of her children, whose ages range from 6 months to 4 years old, inside her Memphis-area apartment.Shanynthia Gardner, 29, was arrested and charged with four counts of murder and child abuse and neglect for the shocking crime after Shelby County deputies found the children’s bodies.

All four had their throats slit, and sheriff’s deputies found a large butcher knife with what appeared to be blood on it in the apartment, according to court documents filed Saturday. A fifth child, Gardner’s 7-year-old son from a different father, Dallen, was able to escape the apartment and was spared from the attack, Shelby County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Earle Farrell told the Daily News.

“He was able to get out of the house unharmed,” Farrell said, and added that the family of Gardner’s husband, the boy’s stepfather, are caring for him after the tragedy.

Deputies were called around 12:30 p.m. Friday to the Greens of Irene apartment complex in southeast Shelby County after someone saw Dallen screaming for help and yelling that his sister had been hurt, documents state.

A witness who saw the boy run away also saw Gardner leave the apartment with a knife in her hand and then go back into her apartment, the local Fox station reported.

“When I first got the call to dispatch, I thought someone had been wounded, and then it kept getting worse and worse and worse,” Farrell told the News, but did not know who the caller was.
First responders arrived to the two-bedroom apartment and found Gardner inside with cuts to her wrist and neck.

Deputies found two of the children dead in the living room and the other two in a bedroom, lying motionless on the ground. Detectives later identified the victims as Sahvi, 2; Sya; 3; Tallen, 4 and the youngest victim, Yahzi, was found dead in her baby carrier. She was just 6-months-old.

She should not be called a mother.
