Heartless Mother Jailed 26 Years For Doing This Evil Thing To Her Three Kids (Photos)

A mother who escaped civil war in South Sudan before relocating to Australia has been sentenced to 26 years in prison for killing her children.

A mother who admitted killing three of her children and attempting to murder a fourth by driving her car into a lake has been jailed 26 years in Australia on Tuesday, AFP reports.

The woman identified as Akon Guode, who came to Australia after fleeing civil war in South Sudan, plunged the vehicle into the lake on the outskirts of Melbourne in 2015, killing one-year-old son, Bol and four-year-old twins, Hanger and Madit.

Australian rescuers were forced to pull her and five-year-old daughter Alual from the sinking vehicle. In handing down his sentence, Justice Lex Lasry said the 37-year-old suffered from post traumatic stress syndrome but why she had driven into the lake remained a “tragic mystery”.
