| Fiona Donnison appeared in court today for the opening of her trial for the alleged murder of her two children |
A jealous wife murdered her two young children to punish her estranged husband after he met another woman, a court heard today.
Fiona Donnison, 45, suffocated Harry, three, and Elise, two, when she wrongly suspected her husband Paul had started an affair with an old schoolfriend.
She then armed herself with two kitchen knives in an attempt to kill Paul, 48, and blame him for the death of their children, it was alleged.
But Mr Donnison did not return to the family home that night. The next day she handed herself in to police saying she had killed her children.
