Kimberlee Singler, a Colorado mother suspected of killing two of her young children and injuring a third, appeared in court for an initial hearing in London on Monday, where she was arrested over the weekend.
After her appearance in Westminster Magistrates’ Court, the 35-year-old Singler was held in custody.
A hearing is scheduled for January 29 to determine whether she should be extradited to the United States to face charges, including two counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder, three counts of child abuse, and one count of assault.
Singler came under suspicion as Colorado police were about to arrest her in connection with the deaths of her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son, who were discovered slain on December 19 during what was initially reported as a burglary, the Associated Press reported.
Singler had minor injuries, and her 11-year-old daughter, who was wounded, had been hospitalized for several days before being released.
Initially considered a crime victim, Singler had cooperated with the police. However, she could not be located when officers went to arrest her on December 26.
Police apprehended her in the Kensington section of London on Saturday. Court records reveal that Singler had been involved in a protracted legal dispute over the children with her ex-husband.
