A 42-year-old mother in Florida accused of leaving her 3-year-old fraternal twins to die in the back seat of a car atop an interstate overpass before trying to kill herself by leaping to her death has been arrested over the tragic ordeal, which authorities said she had been planning for months.

Shirlene N. Alcime was formally charged this week with two counts of child neglect resulting in great bodily harm in the deaths of Milendhet and Milendhere Napoleon-Cadet, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

As previously reported by Law&Crime, officers with the Miami-Dade Police Department responded to a call at about 2 a.m. on Friday from a passerby who told the emergency dispatcher that they had found two children unresponsive.

“Upon the officers’ arrival, the female that was accompanying the children jumped over the expressway wall, fell from a considerable height, and landed on the railroad tracks,” police said in the release. “Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded and transported the toddlers to an area hospital and the female to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital in critical condition. Despite their efforts to save them, medical personnel pronounced both children deceased.”

Authorities said that a pending autopsy would determine the manner and cause of death for the two children. However, after Alcime was formally charged, she appeared in court for a bond hearing where a judge said that the evidence collected thus far indicated that Alcime was likely to be charged with murdering her children.

“I am holding you with no bond on count one, for the child abuse, count two for child abuse, although I think there may be a probable cause for murder as well, but that’s up to the state to file that charge,” Florida Circuit Court Judge Mindy S. Glazer said during Friday’s hearing, per courtroom footage posted online by Miami NBC affiliate WTVJ. “That arrest affidavit, it looks like you killed your children, and you then tried to kill yourself, so that’s why there may be probable cause for different charges, but it’s up to the state’s attorney.”
