US EditionColorado woman suspected of killing 2 of her children is extradited from the UK
Kimberlee Singler faces two first-degree murder counts after killing her children during a custody dispute; she was extradited from the U.K. following nearly two years of legal battles.
- Kimberlee Singler was extradited from Britain to the United States to face charges in her children's deaths, including two counts of first-degree murder and multiple child abuse allegations.
- A Colorado judge ordered Singler to allow the father custody for the holidays or bring the children to a Dec. 20, 2023 hearing, while Singler asked to delay the hearing citing attacks and child murders.
- Investigators found the children's bodies in Colorado Springs in early December 2023, and initially treated Kimberlee Singler as a victim despite her superficial knife wounds.
- Singler fought extradition, denying she attacked her children, while Edward Fitzgerald, London defense attorney, argued that a life‑without‑parole sentence would violate European human‑rights law; British courts rejected these challenges.
- As a cross‑border case, the extradition returns responsibility to U.S. prosecutors, with Edward Fitzgerald arguing Singler faced a life‑without‑parole sentence and prosecutors pursuing criminal and family‑law outcomes for the surviving 11‑year‑old daughter.
