Residents of Sun Valley are stunned By the Gruesome murders of two young girls today.
This community located just east of Burbank located at the base of the Verdugo mountains is still predominantly industrial, although it has some 1960s-vintage residential districts. It was in one of these residential neighborhoods that police were called to investigate the double homicide of two sisters.
Investigators believe Antonia Gomez, 38, killed two of her three daughters Wednesday and then tried to kill herself. A 14-year-old sister of the victims was taken into protective custody.
The younger daughter, Edith Moreno, was found in a house in the 7800 block of Irvine Avenue; her older sister, Diana Moreno, was found in a converted garage at the back of the property.
The girls were found at 11:40 a.m. Wednesday by police responding to a 911 call reporting an assault. A witness looked into a window and saw one of the girls on the floor and called 911. Both of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
The father of the three girls lives in Mexico
Antonia Gomez was treated for knife wounds that police believe were self inflicted in a suicide attempt.
Relatives say the Sun Valley woman lost her job and been hospitalized recently. Her mother’s home, where they lived, was in foreclosure.
There seems to be an increase in these horrific crimes where mothers are killing their own children.

Times are hard and yes some folks aren’t taking it to well, but still not a reason to murder your flesh and blood.I have grown kids and grandchildren, I wouldn’t dream of hurting them,liked the article.
You might get upset enough to hit a child but to kill one? I always tried to never punish my children when I was angry but to wait until I was clear headed so I would not hurt them. This is so sad!
