Mum stabs her three kids to death
A mother in the United Kingdom who repeatedly stabbed her three children to death was sentenced to 16 years jail.
The Sun reported that Theresa Riggi, 47, killed her eight-year-old twins Austin and Luke and her five-year-old daughter Cecilia at their Edinburgh home.
The mother was afraid she would lose them in a bitter custody row.
The youngsters' bloodstained bodies were discovered with eight stab wounds and multiple abrasions and bruises.
The mother was found badly injured after plunging from a second-floor balcony in an apparent suicide bid.
She also had stab wounds which were believed to have been self-inflicted.
Initially, she was charged with murder, but last month she admitted three counts of the lesser charge of culpable homicide on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
