Adoptive mother accused of killing children and forcing sibling to dismember bodies

North Carolina authorities have charged a 63-year-old mother with murdering two of her adopted children. Avantae Deven was arrested last month after police discovered human remains. According to court documents obtained by The Fayetteville Observer, Deven is also accused of forcing another child to dismember the bodies. Authorities believe the remains belong to Deven’s adopted children, London and Blake. Blake, approximately 10 years old, died in 2017. The child was reportedly beaten, starved, and mistreated. London, a teenager, likely suffered a similar fate in 2019. Disturbingly, Deven never reported that either child was missing. The case unfolded in 2022 when
