A nursing mother has been arrested after she stabbed her three kids to death.

The 28-year-old mother from Basud in Camarines Norte, Philippines, hacked her children, ages 5, 1 year/8 months old, and 4 months old, to death at their home.

The mother also tried to commit suicide but survived it. She is still confined to a hospital after the attempted suicide.

Police said that “the mother admitted to the crime thinking she was infected with the deadly Covid-19.”

Basud Police thinks that the suspect could be suffering Postpartum Depression.

The husband of the suspect and her other relatives are very determined to press charges against her.

Three counts of parricide were filed by the Philippine National Police against the mother.
