Now in its fifth week, the trial of Lindsay Clancy in the US for the murder of her three children has been headline news, with blanket TV and press coverage and endless online discussion.
What is known – and what she admits – is that on the evening of January 23rd, 2023, while her husband Patrick Clancy was out running errands, she killed their three children, Cora (5), Dawson (3) and Callan, who was eight months, in their suburban home in Duxbury, Massachusetts.
When her husband Patrick came home, and before he found the children, he discovered his wife seriously injured on the ground outside their house.
As Shanelle Kaul, a national correspondent for CBS News, tells In the News, his 911 call for help was one of the most harrowing evidence heard in court.
