Mum who killed three toddlers by driving into lake demands early release because she was ‘stressed about debt’ at the time
A MELBOURNE mum who killed her three kids and tried to murder another is arguing for early jail release because she was “stressed about debt” at the time.
However, her sentencing was overturned in the Court of Appeal and a reduced sentence of 18 years was enforced. He added that Guode’s case was different than other cases of parents killing their children because there was no motive of revenge, malice or hate. The court was told at the time Guode drove her car into the lake her mental functioning was impaired due to the recent birth of her youngest son.A psychiatric report had previously found that the South Sudanese mother had symptoms of post-traumatic stress order as well as having a “major depressive disorder”.
