SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 18:27

On the afternoon of January 24, 2023, a mother killed her three children at the family home in Duxbury, United States. The victims were Cora, aged five, Dawson, aged three, and Callan, who was just eight months old. The mother strangled the children with exercise bands and, after committing the crime, threw herself from a second-floor window in a suicide attempt.

After the trial, the jury was unable to reach a verdict. The mother was accused of homicide, but the case generated a major division in the United States, with the jury failing to reach a decision on a possible conviction.

The article does not provide further details about the current status of the proceedings or the mother's identity, as the case continues to generate public debate in the country.
