Toxicology tests show a New Jersey woman who decapitated her
2-year-old son and then killed herself in August had smoked PCP-laced
marijuana.
The Camden County Prosecutor's released the
test results Monday showing 34-year-old Chevonne Thomas had used the
drug before killing her son and putting his head in a freezer.
The
woman had suffered from mental illness and had twice lost custody of
her son because of drug use. It was believed from the Aug. 22 tragedy
that she was using the drug known as "wet," which is linked to violence
in some users.
The same drug was linked to another horrific crime
in Camden weeks later. In that case, authorities say a man broke into a
home where he attacked a sleeping girl, then fatally stabbed her
6-year-old brother.
