SA triple murder accused mom to appear in London court─── 05:48 Fri, 09 May 2014
London - The South African woman charged with killing three of her four children is expected to appear before a court in London today for a preliminary hearing.
Tania Clarence (42) was arrested some two weeks ago after the three bodies of her children, Olivia (4) and three-year old twins, Ben and Max, were found in the family's home in Southwest London.
All suffered from the rare degenerative condition, Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
Tania's husband Gary and the couple's eldest child were on holiday in South Africa at the time.
Tania, who had given up her career as a graphic designer to care for her children, has been remanded in custody since her arrest.
Post-mortem examinations on the three children proved inconclusive.
Meanwhile, it was earlier reported that Clarence tried to commit suicide shortly before her arrest.
Unconfirmed reports suggest she was found in the bathroom with slit wrists.
She was treated in hospital before being arrested.
Officials are yet to confirm the claims.
