A mother drowned her three-year-old daughter in a bath a month after separating from her husband, whom she believed was having an affair, a court has heard.Claire Colebourn, 36, had searched for websites about suicide and drowning before the death, Winchester Crown Court heard.Kerry Maylin, prosecuting, said Bethan was found lying on a wet bed at her home in Whitsbury Road on 19 October. Paramedics were unable to revive her.
The court was told the defence did not dispute that Ms Colebourn had killed the couple's only daughter and that she was suffering from a diabetic episode when Bethan was found. Ms Maylin said the defendant told friends she then tried to kill herself by hanging herself, stabbing herself in the stomach and taking a fatal overdose of insulin.
In hospital, Ms Colebourn wrote a letter to a relative saying about Bethan:"In my eyes, I saved her", the court heard.
WTF
This little beauty never stood a chance with such wretched, selfish parents. Unbelievable to even contemplate.
Demonic with jealousy. This story breaks my heart.
Horrible. Just horrid.
😢
I can't imagine such suffering from someone you trust - heart breaking
Oh yeah...straight people make such great parents.
Everybody going mental. Little Britain is becoming an open air asylum just like the USA.
Rest in peace x
Public flaying of the mother would be appropriate.
An 'allegedly' wouldn't hurt, would it?
Well that makes sense.
She'll get off on a plea of insanity but all I see is the waste of a beautiful child's life just because her mother was consumed by jealousy
Shameful
😩😩cant take much more of this shi*. Poor little girl.
Dreadful treacherous act
BBC PLEASE REMOVE
