Colorado Mother Suspected of Killing Children Arrested in the UK

A Colorado mother suspected of killing two of her young children and injuring a third has been arrested in the United Kingdom, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department. Kimberlee Singler, 35, was taken into custody without incident on Saturday, but details about the arrest, including the location and whether extradition is forthcoming, have not been released.

The incident began on December 19th when police responded to a report of a burglary at Singler's home. Upon arrival, they discovered the lifeless bodies of Singler's 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son. Singler and her 11-year-old daughter were also found injured and were transported to the hospital for treatment.

Initially, Singler was treated as a victim based on the report of a burglary, but as the investigation unfolded, she became a suspect. She initially cooperated with police but disappeared during the investigation, making it difficult for authorities to apprehend her. An arrest warrant was obtained on Tuesday, charging her with murder, attempted murder, child abuse, and assault.

Singler's 11-year-old daughter was released from the hospital a few days after the incident and is recovering in Colorado Springs. The children's deaths occurred amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings.

The Colorado Springs Police Department is working closely with multiple law enforcement agencies in pursuing the ongoing investigation. They have not provided further details on the overseas arrest but stated that more information will be released at a later date.

Singler now faces four counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder. The charges for each alleged crime were doubled due to the children being under the age of 12, according to a news release.

The arrest of Singler in the United Kingdom brings some closure to the tragic case, but many questions still remain unanswered. The motive behind the alleged killings and the circumstances surrounding Singler's disappearance are still under investigation. Authorities will continue to work diligently to gather all the necessary evidence and bring justice to the victims and their families.
