BRONX, NEW YORK, July 13- District Attorney Robert T. Johnson announced that a grand jury has indicted Lisette Bamenga for allegedly murdering her two young children.
Bamenga, 29, of 1500 Noble Avenue, the Bronx, has been indicted on one count of murder in the first degree, and two counts of murder in the second degree in the deaths of 3-month-old Violet Noel and 4-year-old Tevor Noel.
