Colorado mother suspected of killing her 2 children and wounding a third arrested in United Kingdom

The Colorado Springs Police Department reports that a mother from Colorado who is accused of killing two of her young children and hurting a third was apprehended in the United Kingdom on Saturday.

When police went to an allegation of a break-in at Kimberlee Singler’s house on December 19, they discovered her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son dead. Police subsequently stated that the report’s findings were baseless.

According to Ira Cronin, a spokesman for the Colorado Springs Police Department, Singler, 35, initially assisted the authorities but vanished over the course of the inquiry. Despite obtaining an arrest warrant on Tuesday on counts of attempted murder and murder, among other offences, authorities were unable to detain her.

According to Cronin, Singler was not being watched and was last seen in Colorado Springs on December 23.

Authorities did not provide further details on the overseas arrest, but said they are working with multiple law enforcement agencies.

Attempts to reach Singler for comment through phone numbers listed for her were unsuccessful. Cronin said he didn’t know if she has an attorney.

When police first responded to Singler’s home, they found her with minor injuries, the two children’s bodies and Singler’s 11-year-old daughter hurt. At first, Singler was treated as a burglary victim, said Cronin.

The injured girl was hospitalized for a few days before being released and is recovering in Colorado Springs, said Cronin.

The children’s deaths came amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings.
