A troubled mother who killed her three kids and herself wrote touching messages for them.

A troubled pregnant woman who killed her three children before killing herself, actually told the children she loved and could not allow them to suffer all alone.

An inquest looking into the pathetic case heard that 23-year-old Suffolk, UK woman, Fiona Anderson, who drowned her 3-year-old Levina, 2-year-old Addy and and 11-month-old Kyden, before jumping from to her death in a car park later that evening, had written 'I love you' on their bodies before kissing and tucking them up in bed.

The inquest heard that the children had been drowned in the bath, with post-mortem evidence suggesting they had neither been restrained nor assaulted.

Each of the three children had a heart drawn on their torso in green ink to spell out the message “I love you x”, while police also found evidence of a lipstick-mark kiss on each of their foreheads.

Chief Inspector Andy Smith said officers had entered Ms Anderson’s bedroom to find three messages written on the walls.

I put them to bed with their bear bears – they loved their bears.

Another message said:

I love them and I’m going to keep them safe.

While the third read:

They’re cuddled up together sleeping. They look so peaceful.

Mr Smith said Ms Anderson was also found to have written the names of her children on her own body, as well as 'Eve', the name she intended to give her unborn daughter.

Smith also disclosed that the day before the deaths, Ms Anderson had argued with the children’s father, Craig McClellan, after he started a new relationship. She stabbed him during the confrontation, but lied about it to police in order to stop the children being taken into care.

It is clear that Fiona Anderson loved her children but that she was extremely emotionally disturbed on April 13, 14 and 15.

A letter found after her death provided further 'harrowing insight into her life' including 'her intention to take her children with her'.
