An Alabama woman will die for the 2010 poisoning murder of her common-law husband’s 3-year-old son.

Mobile County Circuit Court judge Roderick Stout on Thursday sentenced Heather Leavell-Keaton to death by lethal injection, upholding jurors’ recommendation.

AL.com reports Leavell-Keaton is the first woman in Mobile County history sentenced to death row.

The jury has found that Keaton had intentionally killed Chase DeBlase in 2010, and recklessly caused the death of his 4-year-old sister Natalie DeBlase, whose body was found dumped in a wooded area near Cintronelle, Alabama.

Prosecutors alleged that Keaton cooked anti-freeze into the children’s food.

Their father, John DeBlase, was sentenced to die in late 2014 after being convicted on multiple counts of capital murder.
