Memphis Woman Sentenced To 51 Years in Prison For Killing Her Four Children 5 Years Ago
Shelby County prosecutor held a news conference regarding Gardner’s sentence.
The tragic incident took place on July 1, 2016, when Gardner slit the throats of her youngest children– Tallen,4, Sya, 3, Sahvi, 2, and six-month-old Yahzi, inside of the Greens of Irene Apartments in Memphis. A neighbor called the police after seeing Gardner’s oldest son, Dallen, screaming and yelling for help. That neighbor alleged to see Gardner leave her apartment with a knife. Once police arrived at the Memphis apartment, they found Gardner with cuts on her neck and wrists. Deputies found the bodies of the four children in two separate rooms.
“I know this is the work of the devil,” Sonya Clayton, Dallen’s grandmother, told reporters. Clayton also disclosed that she hadn’t seen Gardner in years. “I know this is not Shanynthia. And I pray and love Shanynthia.”
The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office investigated to see Gardner had ever been investigated by the Department of Children and Family Services. There had not been any previous complaints.
In court, Gardner’s husband Martin, the father of Tallen, Sya, Sahvi and Yahzi, testified that he had spoken with his wife on the day of the murders. She told the father that they were going to watch a movie. Martin disclosed that nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
