Mother’s relief as she is cleared of killing her three babies

A MOTHER cleared of murdering three of her babies last night said she was looking forward to “getting back to some sort of normality”.

Trupti Patel, 35, sobbed and embraced her husband Jayant after she was found not guilty of the three counts of murder at Reading Crown Court.

It took the jury of 10 men and one woman just an hour-and-a-half to return the not guilty verdicts after a trial which lasted nearly six-and-a-half weeks. Mrs Patel, a qualified pharmacist, had always denied killing her two baby sons, Amar and Jamie, and baby daughter Mia, none of whom survived beyond the age of three months.
