A 50-year-old Houston father pleaded guilty Wednesday to capital murder in the deaths of his three children in exchange for life without parole.
Mohammad Goher admitted to shooting his son Saeed, 12, and daughters Saeedah, 14, and Aisha, 7, as they slept in his apartment on Sept. 19, 2010, according to court records.
Investigators said Goher and his wife were going through a bitter divorce and custody battle when he killed the children and turned the gun on himself, but survived a gunshot wound to the head.
