An Idaho mother who said her 18-month-old twins died last year after receiving three vaccines has been charged with murder in their deaths, officials said last week.

Andrea Shaw, 23, was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her toddlers, Tyson and Dallas, who were found dead in a shared bed on 1 May last year.

Police officers responded to the home in Payette, Idaho, after receiving a report of a possibly deceased child.

“Upon arrival, officers discovered two deceased children, twin siblings, in a shared bed,” Payette police said at the time, adding that the case was being investigated as a homicide.
