When she was asked why she had done it, she claimed the devil  told her to do it and that she was only complying with the orders she received.

Fernanda Cruz is a well known mentally ill person. Her mental illness had been on for quite a while and things have not improved despite series of medical attentions given to her. Doctors have diagnosed her of being schizophrenic. She started off her series of murder activities by first  suffocating her three-month-old brother with the helpless brother not able to resist her superior power. Just some days later after killing the three months old boy, she took things to the next level and smothered her three-year-old sibling with a pillow. She said the devil told her to carry out these acts on each occasion.

The police made several efforts to find out who was responsible for the crime, since they did not suspect her to be the killer. But some weeks after committing the crime, the schizophrenic girl made attempt to kill herself; she took pills in an attempt to overdose. But before the pills could kill her, she was rushed to the hospital where her life was saved. It was when she was in the hospital that she owned up to her crime and confessed to what she had done to her two siblings..

Fernanda had told doctors while making her confession that she had heard the devil speaking to her on several occasions before and that the incidence with her siblings were not the first time she would be ordered to do things by the devil. She said the devil had ordered her to kill herself some days after killing her brother so that she could be reunited with her dead brothers. She claimed the devil had also told her specifically how to do that and that she was only following orders.

She then confessed to police that she had killed her younger brothers because the devil had ordered her to do so. She claimed it was not her fault, since she was just following instructions from the devil. She claimed she was innocent and should be absolved of all blames in this regard.

When contacted by the police on the issue, the girl's parents admitted that they knew that she believed she was talking to the devil but had no idea the problem was so serious. They said the issue had been on for quite a while, but they thought she would get over it with time. They expressed their surprises at how things have degenerated to this level.

As at the time of filing this report, the girl was still in the hospital. When contacted, the police said she would be arraigned for murder and that they are only bidding their time till she fully recovers, after which they will spring to action and make sure she appears in court for the murders of her siblings.
