LONDON — A Colorado mother accused of killing two of her young children and wounding a third appeared in court in London on Monday, where she was arrested over the weekend.
Kimberlee Singler, 35, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court and faced extradition to the US to face two charges of first-degree murder, one charge of attempted murder, three charges of child abuse and one charge of assault.
Singler disappeared as Colorado police prepared to arrest her in connection with the deaths of her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son, who were found murdered on December 19 during what was reported as a burglary. Singler was slightly injured and an injured 11-year-old daughter was hospitalized for several days before being released.
Singler was initially treated as a crime victim and had been cooperating with police. But officers were unable to locate her when they went to arrest her on December 26.
Police arrested her on Saturday in the Kensington district of London.
According to court documents, she had a long-standing legal dispute over the children with her ex-husband.
