A mum drowned her three-year-old daughter in the bath after becoming convinced her husband was having an affair.

Bethan Colebourn was found dead at the family home in October 2017. Picture: Hampshire Police/INS NewsIt is alleged Colebourn even believed her husband was spying on her through the ‘Wi-Fi and computer’ at the home they had shared, told family he was a “controlling bully” and filed divorce papers claiming he did not want Bethan in his life.

Winchester Crown Court heard the mother’s obsession had seen her spend days scouring the internet for details on her husband’s former girlfriend, as well as researching suicide and if drowning was painless. After her little girl’s death, the court was told Colebourn posted two chilling letters, the first to a police station in Bournemouth, Dorset, detailing what had happened to her relationship with her husband and the second to her mum, telling her she loved her.

“On the journey to the police station, she said ‘I did not kill her’. But at the police station in Southampton, officers reported she was in a jovial mood, almost laughing and joking.”She added: “She said she didn’t save her daughter from the bath, adding “I did not want her to suffer” and ‘in my eyes, I saved her’.
