Mom killed her three young sons to help her daughter, prosecutor says

Story here. Excerpt:

'But three times was too many, in this town of 13,000, which boasts of being home to the “first concrete street in America.”

Under questioning by police, Brittany Pilkington broke down and confessed to suffocating all three of her sons by putting blankets over their heads, according to the Columbus Dispatch and the AP.

The reason for the alleged murder spree?

She wanted her husband to pay more attention to their daughter, a prosecutor said.

“In her mind, she was protecting her daughter from being not as loved as the boys were by their father,” Logan County prosecutor William Goslee told the Columbus Dispatch.

Brittany Pilkington was charged with three counts of murder and jailed on Tuesday, according to the AP. Her remaining child, Hailey, was taken into custody by a Logan County welfare agency.'

It's the dad's fault of course and I bet she gets remanded to a psych facility, just like a so-called Munchausen case.
