An American woman has decapitated her two-year-old son before killing herself with a knife.

Chevonne Thomas, 33, called 911 initially blaming the killing on her boyfriend and then saying she had stabbed the child with a kitchen knife.

Police rushed to the scene in the early hours of Wednesday but withdrew while she was on the phone with emergency services.

They returned to find she had killed herself, said Camden County prosecutor Jason Laughlin.

"The police who arrived on the scene were traumatised by it," he said. "It has been very, very difficult for them."

Police found the body of the boy, Zahree, on the floor, and his head in the freezer where his mother had said it would be.

The child had been the subject of a custody order between his parents - his mother had lost custody of him in 2010 and had him returned in April of this year.

He was originally taken away from her after he was left alone in a car.

New Jersey officials revealed the woman had a history of mental health problems and substance abuse.
