When the criminal investigation began in September, it was clear that there were clear signals the children had problems. The boys had not been in school or in kindergarten after the summer holidays. The mother had also stopped responding to school staff contact attempts.

The forensic psychiatric investigation has established that the woman is suffering from a serious mental disorder, which means that she can not be sentenced to prison.

That a woman kills her children is extremely rare. Between 1990 and 2008, 34 children were killed by their mothers, according to criminologist Michael Rying. Only five of the children were older than six years.
