Kimberlee Singler Extradited to Colorado in Deaths of Two Children

She is jailed in El Paso County pending an initial court appearance later this week.

Overview

  • The 4th Judicial District Attorney announced Tuesday that Singler was returned from the United Kingdom and booked into the county jail after a press conference on the case.
  • She is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder, three counts of child abuse, and assault, and she is being held without bond.
  • Autopsy reports state both children died of gunshot wounds to the head, one also had an incised neck wound, and both had toxic or potentially toxic levels of the sleep aid doxylamine.
  • Investigators say the surviving 11-year-old later recanted an intruder account and told a caretaker and authorities that her mother was responsible, adding that her mother said God told her to do it.
  • U.K. courts rejected Singler’s human-rights challenge to extradition over a potential life-without-parole sentence, and she had been arrested in London’s Chelsea neighborhood days after the killings.
