A mother and grandmother who killed themselves and four children in a June 10 murder-suicide discussed their plans for the killings via text messages, according to authorities in New York.

Mechanicville Police Chief Bill Rabbitt said Amy Steadman and her daughter, Sarah Myers, exchanged text messages in which they allegedly planned the murders of Myers’ four children, Harper, Hudson, Gavin, and Gracelynn, according to a press conference Tuesday.

Steadman and Myers began planning the alleged killings June 5, Rabbitt said.

The series of June 10 text messages contained “discussions regarding obtaining medications, where the murders would occur, how those medications would be administered, how the children would be brought together, what they would be told, and how suspicion could be avoided,” according to police.
