Colorado death: Judge rejects US mother’s extradition challenge

Earlier, the court heard in September that Ms Singler’s crimes were “committed against the backdrop of acrimonious court proceedings” relating to custody of her children with her ex-husband Kevin Wentz.

Prosecutor Joel Smith said on December 19, 2023, the Colorado Springs Police Department responded to a 911 call reporting a burglary at a Colorado residence at 00:29 local time (06:29 GMT).

When officers arrived at the defendant’s address, they found two children dead and a “bloody pistol” found on the bedroom floor.

Mr Smith said DNA tests were carried out on the gun and knife which revealed the presence of a mixed profile matching the child and Ms Singler.

The third child, who has not been named, was found with serious injuries to her neck. He was taken to the hospital and survived.

Mr. Smith said Ms. Singler blamed her husband for the attack, but found he had been driving a “GPS-tracked truck” in Denver, giving what prosecutors described as a “complete and verifiable alibi.”
