A mother, Kara Alexander, who murdered her two young children in the bathroom while she was in a psychotic state, has been imprisoned for life.
Alexander was convicted of drowning Elijah Thomas, 2, and Marley Thomas, 5, in the house living in Dagenham, East London, in December 2022.
The 47 -year -old man, who had denied two murder positions, was sentenced at Kingston Crown Court in February this year.
The post mortals in the children discovered that they had drowned or suffocated.
Alexander accepted in the trial that had placed the children in the bathroom before they drown “accidentally.”
Upon returning to Kingston Crown Court on Friday, Judge, Judge Joel Bennathan, sentenced Alexander to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 21 years and 252 days.
The judge referred to the children of the children finding their deceased children next to the other as “the nightmares.”
Bennathan said: “On the night of December 15, 2022, you had been smoking Zorrillo.
“You had been doing it every night for weeks, probably much more. At some point, the two children were on pajamas ready for the bed, with Elijah also wore the diaper.
“You drowned both for their deliberate acts.”
He added: “Of everything I have read and seen of you, I have no doubt that every day, when you wake up, you will remember and cry for young children whose lives you snatched.”
In his comments of judgment, Bennathan also warned about the dangers of drugs.
He said: “The intensive use of the Mista or other Hyper-Strong CANNABIS strains can immerse people in a mental health crisis in which they can damage themselves or others.
“If any drug user does not know, it's time for him to.”
