Father's desperate screams as he comes home to find toddler dead and five-year-old fighting for life after wife 'drowned them in bath'

A one-year-old girl died and her five-year-old sister remains in critical condition after their mother tried to drown them in a baby bath in their Los Angeles home.

Police suspect that Lorna Valle, the mother of the two girls, ‘snapped’ when she decided to try to drown her daughters Marian, 5, and Lindsay, 1.

Valle was stopped by her husband who returned to their south Los Angeles home from the grocery store around 7.30am Wednesday morning after going to pick up juice and milk for his daughters.

When the father arrived in the house, neighbours heard screams of ‘My babies! My babies!’ and police were called.
