A woman confessed to drowning her children in the waters off Coney Island Sept. 12, a family member claims.
The New York Post said 30-year-old Erin Merdy allegedly told the relative she “drowned all three kids.”
Cops found the 7-year-old boy, 4-year-old girl and 3-month-old boy on the beach near West 35th Street at around 4:45 a.m. The three were pronounced dead at Coney Island Hospital.
