In a significant legal ruling, a judge has upheld the extradition of Kimberlee Singler, a 36-year-old mother, accused of the shocking murders of her two children in Colorado. The decision was made by District Judge John Zani at Westminster Magistrates' Court, following claims that Ms. Singler fled the US shortly after the alleged incidents.
On December 19, 2023, Colorado Springs authorities responded to an emergency call, discovering the lifeless bodies of nine-year-old Elianna and seven-year-old Aden at their home. The investigation unearthed a blood-stained handgun at the scene, prompting DNA testing that matched both the children and Ms. Singler.
Adding to the complexity of the case, a third unnamed child was found injured but survived the traumatic event. Prosecutor Joel Smith indicated that Ms. Singler's actions were entwined with contentious custody battles with her ex-husband, Kevin Wentz. While she allegedly placed the blame on him, evidence revealed his solid alibi through GPS tracking during the time of the incident.
Ms. Singler's extradition will now be reviewed by the home secretary, as authorities prepare to address the serious charges awaiting her in the United States.
