Plymouth mother accused of murdering her daughter and wounding her son was a substitute teacher until a few months ago

The 43-year-old Plymouth woman accused of murdering her daughter and critically injuring her son began having psychiatric crises earlier this year, and before that worked successfully as a substitute teacher in central Connecticut, her lawyer told a judge Monday.

Naomi Bell was hospitalized twice — for more than two weeks each time — this year, but before that had no history of psychological problems and has no criminal record, attorney Jassette Henry said during her arraignment.
