3 Years Old Boy Drowns His Twin Brothers While Drunk Mother Slept Away.

A woman from West Derby,  Liverpool has been sentenced to one year in prison for falling into deep sleep after drinking 4 cans of  strong larger and allowing her 3 years old son to drown one of her twins and causing serious brain damage to the other.

When asked, the boy said " I wanted to make them nice and clean"

The mother fell asleep in the afternoon after drinking four cans of special brew which contained nine percent alcohol. She later woke up to find her children naked and unconscious and not breathing.

The Judge Mrs Justice Cox said:

"The drink certainly played a part in your going to sleep and failing to wake up when the toddler woke up and got out of bed.

"While you slept, the toddler decided to make the twins nice and clean and he put them in the bath.

"When he woke you up you found both of your babies floating in the bath water not breathing. They were cold, naked and they weren't breathing"

"I have noted you have been advised by health workers as to the risks of alcohol misuse and caring properly for young children

She added: "your real punishment will lie in the images that will stay with you possibly permanently of what happened that day"

Both babies were taken to Alder Hey Children Hospital in West Derby,  Liverpool where they were placed on life support.  Few days later one of the twins died while the other remained in life support.  There are indications that the living twin is likely to be severely affected by cerebral palsy and will need round - the - clock care for the rest of his life.

She received a one year prison sentence and suspended for two years at Liverpool crown Court.
