Texas Father Charged With Capital Murder After Discovery of Dead Children

Randy Sylvester Sr., of Pasadena, has been held in the Harris County jail without bond since he was arrested June 17 for assaulting the mother of the children. On Monday, District Attorney Ken Magidson charged him with killing the children.

No decision has been made on whether to pursue the death penalty, Magidson said.

No motive was discussed. Sylvester told the Houston Chronicle in a jailhouse interview Sunday that he didn't kill the children but said they were killed because he owed someone money.
