Trial Continues Of Bradford Mother Charged With The Murder Of Her Two Daughters

    A jury at Bradford Crown Court will not hear from the mother who stabbed her two young daughters to death as the court was told she will not be giving evidence in her own defence.

    24 year old Samira Lupidi, denies murdering 17-month-old Jasmine Weaver and three-year-old Evelyn Lupidi at a refuge in Bradford in November 2015 but does admit manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

    The court was told that the killings occurred at a woman’s refuge in Bradford as Samira Lupidi had called Police to her home claiming she was scared her partner was going to kill her and he had slapped her twice the night before.

    Both girls were found on their beds, each with nine stab wounds. The trial revolves around her mental state at the time of the killings.
