Tania Clarence, 42 admitted
the manslaughter by diminished responsibility of Olivia, four, and
three-year-olds Ben and Max at their home in New Malden, southwest London, over
the Easter holidays last year.
The children’s dad,
investment banker Gary Clarence, 43, was abroad on business in his native South
Africa with the couple’s eldest daughter at the time of the killings.
The children suffered from
the rare life-limiting genetic condition spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), which
left them with little or no control of their movement.
Clarence was sentenced to a
hospital order last November and will not be released until she has recovered
from her mental illness.
The depressed mother who suffocated
her three young disabled children was being seen by sixty different professionals,
it has emerged.
The involvement of so many
people with Tania Clarence and her family was an "insurmountable
problem", a serious case review has found.
The 70-page inquiry report
said the death's of the youngsters "could not have been predicted nor
prevented" but added "important lessons" should be learned from
the tragedy.
The number of practitioners
involved in the case was among a series of failings highlighted by the review,
commissioned by the Kingston Local Safeguarding Children Board (KLSC).
The report said there was a
"lack of consensus" among professionals over the right care for the
children.
