Kimberlee Singler was arrested in London in 2023, a week after her daughter, 9, and son, 7, found dead in Colorado

An American woman accused of killing two of her children after a Colorado judge demanded she comply with a custody order has been extradited from Britain, where she was arrested, to the United States to face charges.

Kimberlee Singler was arrested in Kensington, west London, by officers from the UK’s National Crime Agency in December 2023, a week after her nine-year-old daughter and seven-year-old son were found dead in their home in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Singler’s 11-year-old daughter was injured but survived. Singler had superficial knife wounds and told police that a man had entered the apartment and attacked the family. The surviving daughter initially backed Singler’s story but eventually told an investigator that her mother said that God made her do it, according to court documents in the United Kingdom.

Police started the search for Singler on 26 December 2023. She was found four days later in London’s upscale Chelsea neighborhood and arrested. It is not known why she ended up there.
