Colorado mother accused of murdering two of her children has been arrested in London

A Colorado mother accused of killing two of her children and wounding a third was arrested in London over the holiday weekend after days on the run, authorities said.

Kimberlee Singler, 35, was taken into custody in the Kensington area of ​​London on Saturday, a spokeswoman for Britain’s National Crime Agency said on Tuesday.

Ms Singler appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday for an extradition hearing and will remain in custody until her next scheduled appearance on January 29, officials said.

Colorado Springs police had been searching for Ms. Singler for days after issuing a warrant for her arrest on December 26. It was unclear why she had fled to Britain and what events led to her arrest.

It was also unclear whether Ms. Singler had been assigned an attorney.

Colorado Springs police did not immediately return a request for comment Tuesday.

Ms. Singler was charged with four counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of child abuse and one count of assault following a series of events last month.

On December 19, Ms. Singler was found injured next to her three children after authorities received a report of a burglary at an apartment in Colorado Springs.

Ms Singler and her 11-year-old daughter were treated for injuries at the scene by medical responders before being taken to a hospital for further treatment, police said. Authorities have not provided any further information about the nature of their injuries or the causes of death of the 9-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy.

However, as the investigation continued, police determined that information about a reported burglary was unfounded, a police department spokesperson said.
