A judge in London has ruled against Kimberlee Singler, a US mother facing extradition for the alleged murders of her two children in Colorado. Singler, aged 36, was arrested in West London on December 30, 2023, following a manhunt after her children, Elianna, nine, and Aden, seven, were discovered lifeless in their home on December 19. The court has now forwarded the case to the home secretary, who will determine whether she will be extradited back to the United States.
During the proceedings, District Judge John Zani dismissed Singler's extradition challenge, citing the seriousness of the accusations. Prosecutors indicated that she had fled to the UK shortly after the alleged events, which transpired during contentious custody disputes with her ex-husband, Kevin Wentz.
The harrowing sequence of events began with a 911 call reporting a burglary, where first responders found two deceased children and a blood-stained firearm at the scene. Forensic examinations revealed DNA evidence tying Singler to the weapon as well as a knife found at the location. Another child was also discovered injured but survived and was taken to the hospital.
As details unfold in this tragic case, the evidence presented has shown that Singler attempted to shift blame to her former spouse. However, investigators were able to establish his whereabouts at the time of the incident through GPS records, proving he was in a different city when the crimes occurred. Now, all eyes are on the legal process as the next steps in Singler’s extradition are determined.
