[quote]A mother accused of murdering her two daughters at their Cambridgeshire home told a special constable: "I have killed the kids", a court has heard.
Rekha Kumari-Baker, 41, of Stretham, denies murdering Davina Baker, 16, and Jasmine Baker, 13, on 13 June 2007.
Cambridge Crown Court was told Ms Kumari-Baker killed the girls as they slept at home.
The judge, Mr Justice Bean, said the defence would argue she had "diminished responsibility" for the killings.
He said they would claim she was suffering from a "serious abnormality of mind" when the offences occurred.
I've done something terrible Natalie. Please call me
Rekha Kumari-Baker's answer-phone message
Prosecutor John Farmer told the jury that Davina was stabbed 39 times in a "frenzied" attack.
Ms Kumari-Baker, a hotel worker, then attacked her younger daughter in similar fashion, he said.
Mr Farmer told the court that, after killing the children, she got dressed and twice went out in her car before ringing a friend to say: "I have done something terrible."
The court heard there was "much contention" between the defendant and her ex-husband over the care and custody of their children.
Jurors were told one theory was that Ms Kumari-Baker wanted to "wreak havoc" on her ex-husband by killing the girls.
Davina Baker, 16, and her sister Jasmine Baker, 13
Davina and Jasmine were said to be sleeping when they were killed
Mr Farmer told jurors Ms Kumari-Baker bought the knife she used to kill her children at an Asda supermarket in Cambridge on 11 June 2007.
He said she had woken early on 13 June and then gone to the girls' bedrooms and murdered them.
After killing the girls, she got dressed, got into her car and drove towards nearby Ely, the prosecutor said.
Ms Kumari-Baker then returned to her home, "showered and cleaned herself up" then went out in her car again, he added.
Shortly before 0630 BST she telephoned a friend and special police constable Natalie Barford and left an answer-phone message saying: "I've done something terrible Natalie. Please call me."
Ms Barford went to the defendant's home and she was arrested.
Confession note
Mr Farmer said the breakdown of Ms Kumari-Baker's relationship with her partner, Jeff Powell, may have acted as a trigger for the attack.
"The end of the affair was a trigger to put into motion the mindset that was going to lead her to murdering her daughters."
He added that the defendant was "concerned" that her children were spending time with her ex-husband's new girlfriend Kadi Kone.
A note found at the home of the hotel worker following the discovery of the bodies, and signed "Rekha", read: "Sorry doesn't mean anything now.
"I've killed my two daughters. I did not want them to get hurt like I did.
"Jeff hurt me so much I cannot explain. He found it difficult to compromise at times but I loved him so much.
"My kids will not be a burden with anyone any more."
The case continues. [/quote]
I know it happened in 2007, but she apparently confessed to a policeman just recently that she did it. Whether she did do it or not, that's fucked up.

That's extremely fucked up, man. :/
Poor kids. They probably didn't even deserve it.
What a stupid excuse for killing your daughters.
"I did not want them to get hurt like I did."

Really, that's messed up. My condolences to whoever condolences should be paid to.

I don't know, man. Kids are pretty fucked up these days.

Yeah, but not as fucked up as their murderer parents.
Honey, I killed the kids
Only in Cambridgeshire.
That mother was probably just jealous and didn't want the ex-husband's girlfriend to enjoy time with the daughters.Sad,especially if the daughters were hot.
I hope she gets 7 decades for killing her teenage daughters.

Probably.
I'm fukken scared now. Even though I'm almost 16, shit still scares me, seeing as my parents are divorcing. My mom's got schizophrenia and has falsely accused my father of stealing, beating her, being a stingy bastard who needs to rot in hell, and strangely enough.. pedophilia. Shit's gotten pretty crazy, my dad got arrested once while I was not there to back up his side of the story while my maternal grandmother was there to back up my mom's side of the story. Everyone's been paying for it, to the tune of at least $50,000 in lawyer fees (the DA did not charge my father, my mom did). She has also managed to haul my desktop with a 48lb case out of the house and to storage somewhere for the entire summer, with the exception of like the last 3 weeks. She also keeps on saying shit about my dad and how I'm going to fuck up my entire life if I decided to stay with him.
tl;dr - story matches up almost perfectly with the shit i'm dealing with right now. I don't think my mom will be crazy enough to stab me 30-some times in my sleep, but the thought of it scares the FUCK out of me

I'd hit it
With a knife...

[QUOTE=MrProudfoot;17186072]What has the world come to.[/QUOTE]
How come in every news thread about something bad that happens there's always a completely hollow, generic pessimistic remark at humanity from.
"What has this world come to! Has humanity sunk so low? The world is so dark. I'm going to write a poem about it and cut myself. Urrrghh..."
Just luckily I guess.
