Australian who killed to spite her ex-husband jailed

An Australian woman who killed her children because she could not bear the thought of her ex-husband spending Christmas Day with them was jailed for 20 years by a Brisbane court Wednesday, DPA reported.

The judge said he accepted the prosecution's case that the motivation for the gassing of an 8-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl was hatred towards her former partner.

The 42-year-old woman, whom the judge would not name, was also given a concurrent 15-year sentence for the attempted murder of her 16-year-old son.
