A Sudanese woman living in Australia has admitted to
deliberately driving her car into a lake and drowning three of her children in the
year 2015.
The 37-year-old Akon Guode
initially said that she had suffered a dizzy spell that caused her to lose
control of the car and drift it into the lake in Melbourne. Three of her children:
Maudit, Hanger and Bol were drowned in the incident.
After the police investigations, the woman was arrested.
Australia took in Akon as a refugee in 2006 after she fled
from war-torn Sudan. The father of the children told the court that Akon could not
have committed the act intentionally as she is a loving and caring mother.
