BELLEVILLE — Tiffany Hall admitted drowning her longtime friend’s three young children in a bathtub where she’d already cut a fetus from their mother’s womb, authorities say.

Now prosecutors say they’ll seek the death penalty if the East St. Louis woman is convicted of first-degree murder in the children’s slayings.
Hall, 24, already faced a possible death sentence if convicted of killing the children’s mother, Jimella Tunstall. Prosecutors filed their intent to seek the death penalty in the children’s deaths in St. Clair County Circuit Court on Wednesday.

One of Hall’s attorneys, James Gomric, declined to comment Wednesday night.
