Mother Murders Own Teen Girls


I couldn't sleep last night.


At 8am on Wednesday morning a neighbour of Rekha Kumari-Baker called the police. Rekha 39, was then arrested following the discovery of the bodies of her daughters Jasmine, 13, and Davina, 16, at their home in Stretham, Cambridgeshire. Rekha was covered in her daughters blood after alledgedly stabbing them both.

It appears they may not had lived together but one may have lived with the father and one the mother but information is sketchy this morning. Also the girls were typical teens or maybe should I say on the more hard work kind of typical teen. Maybe the mother snapped? It is early days and nobody really knows what has happened yet. But it can never be easy bringing up children on your own.
Their father is too destraught to comment. Poor man.

Such tragic tales are rare but they happen. Teenagers are cocky and loudmouthed, rude and aggresive. What if their mum flipped? What if she was suffering from a mental illness and was unsupported? One could put two and two together and make five but that is not the right thing to do now.

Davina and Jasmine rest in peace girls.
