Who is Dimone Fleming? 'Whimsical' mom begged mercy on social media before fatally stabbing 2 kids

Just hours before the incident, a mother who is accused of fatally stabbing her two young sons in their New York City apartment had pleaded for "mercy" and "repented her wrongdoings." Deshawn Fleming, 3, and Octavius Canada, 11 months old, were allegedly murdered by Dimone Fleming, 22, who then hid their bodies in the bathtub at the Bronx homeless shelter. Columbus Canada, Fleming's husband, was the one to find his children's lifeless bodies after the authorities failed to notice them during their initial visit to the area. The 22-year-old's family has since revealed that she frequently discussed demons and thought of her toddlers as "devils." Just hours before the bloodbath, Fleming posted a final message on her Facebook profile. "It's only one true God and I repent from all wrong doings and negative influence. Leaving all things that's no longer serves me...Thank you for your mercy", she wrote at 6 am the morning of the murder. The mother was shouting and holding her head up, the witnesses who lived in the building, according to Daily Mail "What have I done? What have I done? "only minutes before the cops arrived at the scene, in the hallway. As Fleming is still being held as a person of interest in the case and has not yet been named an official suspect, no charges have been brought against her. The father apparently had a verbal argument with Fleming the day before, left the house, and spent the night in his car. Casey Canada, Octavius' great aunt, claimed that Fleming thought her kids were "demons".  "She thought the kids were devils. She said she was afraid of them", Casey said. "She definitely loved them for sure. That wasn’t fake." When the cops arrived, they discovered the woman barefoot and setting things on fire in the kitchen. Before they could take her into jail, they had to wait for 30 minutes. Ten minutes after the police departed, the boy's father came home and discovered the two kids in the flat unresponsive. He contacted the officers again at 7:55 o'clock. On Saturday, November 26, at 11 p.m., Patrol Borough Bronx Deputy Chief Louis De Ceglie announced in front of the building at 246 Echo Place that the mother was being held as a person of interest. "Officers arrived and found a 22-year-old female naked inside of the apartment on the third floor acting irrational", Chief De Ceglie told reporters. "The officers took the female into custody without incident, and awaited the response of the ambulance." De Ceglie said the initial report received by officers had warned of a "female acting erratic, but non-violent," with no weapons. The fact that the boys' bodies were hidden in the toilet is probably what prevented the authorities from finding them on their initial visit to the house. Police failed to resuscitate the kids despite being administered.
