— It was a little after midnight Wednesday when Chevonne Thomas dialed 911 and, in a very muddled manner, said something had

and that she had done it.

When police arrived at her home in the 1400 block of Kaighn Avenue, they found the decapitated body of her 2-year-old son, Zahree Thomas, on the floor, authorities said. Horrified officers found the toddler’s head in the freezer, said authorities.

Thomas, 33, was still upstairs, and since police didn’t know whether she was armed, they backed out of the house and set up a perimeter around the house, said authorities. Thomas was still on the line with a 911 dispatcher during this time.

While police were preparing a secure entry into the house, it's believed Thomas stabbed herself in the neck with a kitchen knife and died, authorities said.
