UK mother guilty of murdering children

A woman in Britain has been found guilty of murdering her two young children and placing their bodies in holdalls in the boot of her car following the breakdown of her relationship with their father.

Fiona Donnison, 45, used three-year-old Harry and two-year-old Elise as the “ultimate pawns” by killing them in order to hurt Paul Donnison in the most extreme way possible, Lewes Crown Court heard.

She went into Heathfield police station in East Sussex on the morning of January 27 last year and told officers she had killed her children.

The court was told that she had smothered them with their bedding the night before.
