London – A South African woman appeared in a British court on Friday for the murder of her three severely disabled children. Tania Clarence, 42, is accused of killing three-year-old twin sons, Ben and Max, and four-year-old daughter Olivia, who all suffered from a incurable genetic disorder called spinal muscular atrophy, which causes the muscles to waste away.
The children were found in their pyjamas at the family’s London home on Tuesday evening and had allegedly been smothered.
According to Mail Online, the mother-of-four, who was taken into court covered in a fluorescent jacket, cried as soon as she saw her investment banker husband Gary Clarence, 43, who flew home to Britain from South Africa on Thursday after a holiday with their eldest daughter.
Mr Clarence, 43, was on holiday with his 8-year-old daughter, staying at the family home in Bela-Bela, Limpopo.
His wife is reportedly from Cape Town….
