According Sky news reports, a British mother who killed her young son and daughter in a Spanish hotel room has been found guilty of their "abominable" murders.
Lianne Smith admitted smothering 11-month-old Daniel and five-year-old Rebecca with a plastic bag at the Miramar Hotel in Lloret de Mar on the Costa Brava in May 2010.The killings took place shortly after the 45-year-old's partner, Martin Smith, was extradited to the UK on sex offence charges.
A jury at the Provincial Court in Girona, northeast Spain, found her guilty of murder charges after deciding she was criminally responsible for the children's deaths.
Her defence had sought an acquittal, claiming she was in a state of "psychiatric disturbance" and suffering insurmountable fear when the tragedy happened.
