A bit of background she was the mother who killed her three children in Edinburgh Slateford area, tried to kill herself after setting fire to the flat in 2010.
Wherever she is now I hope its in hell for what she did, it's a pity she is dead because she deserved to live and suffer for her inexcusable actions.

The poor father, my thoughts are with him.
Where the hell is that
Seems like she commited suicide.

Always have been, what a bitter woman to kill their children.
Sorry that's auto correct at work.
My sympathies are with the father of the kids, she must have been one evil witch to kill her own children.
Wherever the children are at rest I hope she is not laid to rest with them.
That's OK.:) I feel for the dad as well. She actually stabbed them to death before trying to commit suicide.
You added a bit. I doubt the father will allow her to be buried with them. I don't know where the children a buried.
Sorry I added it when I sorted the auto correct,
Just googled and it seems the children were cremated after a service in Aberdeen.
So unlikely her ashes if cremated will be kept or scattered where the children are.
True. And if it comforts people, I really doubt that someone who was badly injured in a failed suicide, then sent to prison to be seriously attacked, has had much of a life lately.
She was diagnosed with several mental conditions if I remember correctly.
I have sympathy for her husband of course but also for her, as she was obviously a very tormented woman. Perhaps having to face up to what she had done once she was transferred to Rampton and maybe put on meds which made her more stable, was too much to bear.
Me too. She was sent to Rampton where I thought they would be very vigilant. She very obviously suffered from a severe mental illness . A tragedy for all involved.
Very, very sad.
Sounds to me like she was in her own personal kind of hell when she was alive. I know the kneejerk reaction to cases like this is "BURN THE WITCH!" but as said, she obviously had some severe malfunctioning going on. No winners in cases like this.
Exactly. It's not like she decided to become mentally ill for a laugh. Nobody wants that.
And while my initial bitterness towards her is perhaps a tad too much the fact is she should never have had custody of the children while her mental issues where all too apparent, she should have been given better support and help to at least ensure she was able to live and accept her issues.
Having read more about her I do feel she does deserve some sympathy for trying and failing to cope with her issues, the fear of losing the children tipped her over the edge.
I agree my initial post was even by my standards could be views as gloating, if she had been given support and helped then maybe she would not have done what she did.
Much respect to you for coming back with this on reflection, many posters lack the humility to do so.
I tend to think this woman was already in hell as Rampton is a Mental Health Hospital. Your comments are understandable but misplaced.
