Judge rejects US mother's extradition challenge
Briefly

Kimberlee Singler, a 36-year-old US mother accused of murdering her two children, Elianna and Aden, in Colorado, lost her legal challenge against extradition to the US. Her children were discovered dead in December 2023, leading authorities to pursue extradition after her arrest in London. The judge ruled her extradition would not violate her rights, despite her legal team's claims of concerns regarding prison conditions. Currently, the case awaits a decision from the home secretary regarding her transfer back to the US, where she intends to appeal the ruling.
Judge Zani stated that he was not convinced that the defendant's rights would be infringed upon by extradition, asserting her extradition complies with the Human Rights Act.
Prosecutor Joel Smith outlined that the alleged crimes occurred amidst intense custody disputes. A 911 call on December 19 led police to discover the children's bodies.
