Disabled youngsters were found dead in April

The mother of three disabled children found dead at their New Malden home has today (October 13) pleaded guilty to their manslaughter - on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

It is understood her husband Gary Clarence was in South Africa with their eldest daughter at the time. The eldest daughter is believed to attend school in Wimbledon.
