Overview

  • Kimberlee Singler, 36, is accused of fatally shooting and stabbing her 7-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter in Colorado Springs in December 2023.
  • She also faces charges of attempted murder after her 11-year-old daughter survived a knife attack and later implicated Singler in the killings.
  • Singler fled to the UK during the investigation but was arrested in London on December 30, 2023, by British authorities.
  • A London judge rejected her extradition challenge, citing mechanisms in Colorado law that could allow for sentence review, despite her claim that life without parole violates human rights.
  • The case now moves to British Home Secretary Yvette Cooper for a final decision, with Singler expected to appeal further to higher courts.
