Marie Chishahayo, 37, was arrested last year after a man, identifying himself as her brother, entered her home and found her 2-year-old child deceased. One of her other children, a 3-year-old, was found with injuries and transported to the hospital.
Chishahayo initially told police that her 9-year-old son had abused the younger children, but later admitted to beating both of them.
She has been charged with murder in the second degree, child abuse resulting in death, domestic assault, armed criminal action and child abuse resulting in physical injury.
A sentencing date has not been set.
