Women suffocates her children 2 and 1, after her mother criticises her parenting

(CNN) -- A South Carolina mother on Friday asked for forgiveness and mercy, in the eyes of God and a judge, after pleading guilty to two counts of murder for killing her two toddler sons -- saying she hoped to someday reunite with them, "even though it's not on this side of eternity."
"I know what happened is ... unusual and it's not my character," a tearful Shaquan Duley said in an Orangeburg court after entering her plea. "I don't know what went on with me."
Authorities have said that on the night of August 15, 2010, Duley suffocated 2-year-old Devean Duley and 1-year-old Ja'Van Duley by putting her hand over their mouths in a room at the Trumps Inn just outside Orangeburg.
She then put their bodies into their car seats, drove across town to a boat ramp, put the Chrysler sedan in neutral and sent it into the North Edisto River, they said.
Duley's then-5-year-old daughter was not with them at the time.
Orangeburg County Sheriff Larry Williams said soon after the incident that authorities believed the deaths were "a direct response" to an argument between Duley and her mother, who lived together, the night before.
"I believe she was just fed up with her mother telling her she couldn't take care of the children," Williams said.
