- An American woman wanted in the United States for the murder of two of her children and attempting to kill her third child can be extradited from Britain to the U.S., a judge in a London court ruled on Friday.

Kimberlee Singler, 36, has been charged in Colorado with seven counts including the first-degree murder of her nine-year-old daughter and seven-year-old son in December 2023.

Prosecutors allege Singler killed two of her children by shooting them in the head and stabbing them in the neck in their home, amid a protracted custody battle with her ex-partner.

Singler is alleged to have also tried to kill her third child, a girl then aged 11. She denies the allegations.

Judge John Zani ruled on Friday that Singler's challenge to her extradition, on the grounds that if convicted she faces a mandatory sentence of life without parole in breach of her human rights, should be dismissed.
