SA murder accused to remain in UK hospital


A South African woman accused of murdering her three young disabled children in Britain, was further remanded to a secure hospital on Friday.

The British Press Association reports that 42-year old Tania Clarence, who was sent to a hospital for treatment at the end of April, was ordered that her stay would be extended until June 20.

Her situation will be reviewed again then.

Clarence is accused of killing her three-year-old twin sons, Ben and Max, and four year-old daughter, Olivia, at their home.

Judge Brian Barker ruled last month that she could be released from prison and enter a secure hospital under the Mental Health Act.

All three children suffered from type two spinal muscular atrophy. The genetic condition leaves children with little control of their movements and can drastically shorten life expectancy.
