London - A mother was yesterday jailed for three years after admitting killing her two new-born babies because she could not cope.
A housewife, Tina Jamadar (32), denied murder at Leeds Crown Court but admitted the infanticide of her daughters Yasmin, 13 days, and Aleisha, 14 days. The deaths occurred six years apart.
Mrs Justice Smith said Jamadar had tried to be a good mother but "when you killed each of your babies the balance of your mind was disturbed by reason of your not having fully recovered from the birth".
