A US woman accused of killing two of her children has appeared in a UK court.
Kimberlee Singler's nine-year-old daughter and son aged seven were found dead in a residential property in Colorado along with her 11-year-old daughter who was injured but alive, police said.
Officers responded to a 911 call reporting a burglary at their family home on December 19, a claim later discovered to be unfounded.
Singler, 35, and her 11-year-old daughter are said to have been treated for injuries at the scene before being taken to hospital.
Despite initially co-operating with the investigation, Singler reportedly disappeared on 23 December and a warrant was issued for her arrest on murder charges.
