    A young New Jersey mother has been charged with murder in connection with the drowning deaths of her toddler daughters, officials said.

    Naomi Elkins, 27, was arrested Tuesday, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office announced.

    Officers responded to a report of two children in cardiac arrest at a Lakewood residence around 4:50 p.m. Tuesday, officials said.

    Both children were later pronounced dead at the scene, the prosecutor said.

    She was transported to the Ocean County Jail, where she is being held without bail on two counts of murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and unlawful possession of a weapon.
