LONDON (AP) — A Colorado mother suspected of killing two of her young children and wounding a third appeared in court Monday for the first time in a London courtroom, where she was arrested over the weekend.
Kimberlee Singler, 35, appeared in Westminster Magistrates’ Court facing extradition to the U.S. on two counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder, three counts of child abuse and one count of assault.
Singler disappeared as Colorado police prepared to arrest her in the deaths of her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son, who were found slain Dec. 19 during what was reported as a burglary. Singler had minor injuries and a wounded 11-year-old daughter was hospitalized for several day before being released.
First, Singler was treated as a victim of a crime and cooperated with police, but police were unable to locate her when they went to arrest her on Dec. 26.
Police arrested her Saturday in the London borough of Kensington.
According to records, she had a long-standing conflict with her ex-husband over the children.
