    1. It is not possible to be a child murder and simultaneously claim to not be a monster with any sincerity.

      high-pitched screaming and crying that lasted for a little while

      >

      >I did it because I love my children – to protect the children

      >I am not a monster – he was going to take them from me

      Of course not, you’re a sack of shit

    3. It’s crazy how much violence women can get away with and how women’s group feel no responsibility to speak up, even against violence towards children.

    4. Well it worked.

      Will she still be able use “I’m a mother” to get 27 minutes community service?

      It’s worth noting that she has been found unfit to plead, is currently in a secure psychiatric hospital and this is a trial of the facts, not a criminal trial. 

      This is one of the very sad outcomes of mental health services being cut to the bone.

      Genuinely disturbing how many women kill their own children to stop their ex-partner from having them. Just shows how the ex-partner was right in trying to get custody if they were willing to do such a thing.

      Guarantee many of the comments on Facebook will be along the lines of ‘poor mum must have been depressed’.

      Can’t read it.

      It’s literally diabolical.

      Where have we come to in this country where the search for petty victories in a marital split leads to this.

      The wrong people are having children.

    9. Not to excuse this monster in anyway, I’d just like to add, the husband has to be a piece of shit as well.

      This is absolutely heartbreaking to read. RIP beautiful angels 💔

      What’s with all the demented misogynist comments in this thread? Men are statistically far more likely to kill their children and partner so maybe dragging gender into this one isn’t the best idea.

      Edit: Lmao and one of them just reported me to Reddit cares. Not doing much to fight the “incels are always projecting” stereotype are they?

      This happened like 100 metres from my home. There was crazy information and rumour going on when it first happened. Originally it was reported she had entered someone elses home and killed 2 children

      Yes she’s extremely unwell but the article also says she was abusive to her husband beforehand – he wasn’t allowed an Internet-enabled phone and she allegedly attacked him with a piece of wood the night before at the kids bedtime.

      The fact that she thinks she’s not a monster after stabbing her own children to death would definitely indicate something is very wrong with her brain. It takes a lot to override parental instincts like that.

      I agree with the others, she’s really unwell and also a horrible mother and wife. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

    14. Fucking hell there’s a lot of expert lawyers in here (with a side-line in being expert psychiatrists), who definitely know all the facts about the case.
