FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - Sofya Tsygankova is out of the hospital and booked into the Tarrant County Jail.

Tsygankova faces two counts of capital murder in the deaths of her two daughters.

She will be in special housing unit according to Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson.

Anderson tweeted Tsygankova is undergoing thorough medical and psychological screening.  He says she will be housed for now in medical unit due to injuries.

The case began when the dead children of world famous pianist Vadym Kholodenko were found in the family home, in the 6600 block of Waterwood Trail.

Kholodenko's wife, Tsygankova, was also inside the house and has suffered multiple stab wounds investigators say were self-inflicted.
