Rekha Kumari-Baker, a 41 year old UK waitress, was found guilty earlier this week, of the savage 2007 murders of her two teenage daughters.

The victims, Davina, 13, and Jasmine, 16, were asleep when their mother creeped into their bedrooms in the early morning hours of June 13, 2007 and launched a “frenzied” knife attack, according to the UK Sun.

Tweeters are horrified and saddened at the loss of two young girls struck down in the prime of their lives, and at the same time filled with disbelief that their own mother could be responsible.

Prosecutors painted a startling psychological portrait of Kumari-Baker with the help of key testimony from psychiatrists: a woman willing to do the unthinkable to “wreak havok” on her ex-husband David Baker, with whom she was undergoing a bitter custody battle.

The Criminal Report Daily adds that Kumari-Baker’s defense did not attempt to deny that she was responsible for the murders at any point during the two-week trial, but instead claimed that she suffered from a “mental abnormality” which diminshed her responsibility.

A handwritten note was left at the scene, in which the mother of two wrote: “I don’t want them to get hurt as I did.”

After deliberating for only 35 minutes, a jury found Kumari-Baker guilty on two counts of murder and she was subsequently sentenced to two life sentences, of which she must serve a minimum of 33 years.
