A woman who murdered her eight-week old son and attempted to murder his two-year-old sister has been jailed for a minimum of 20 years.
During the trial a prosecution barrister put to the defendant that she had stabbed her children out of "spite and animosity" against her partner, which she denied.After the woman stabbed the children she made five phone calls, including one to the children's father, telling him their daughter was "lying slowly bleeding".
She said she kissed both children, told them they "would always be in her heart", then stabbed them both. The court was told she had suffered "significant terror" and "the most serious breach of trust from the person who should have cared for her the most". The court heard that her partner was not at home at the time of the stabbings. He had been excluded from the family home following an allegation of assault against the defendant three days previously.
