Troubled by financial woes, the mother of three tried to end not
only her life but her children's as well.
At 2am yesterday, the 33-year-old divorcee gathered her three
daughters - aged 10, 11 and 13 - in her bedroom, locked the door
and proceeded to burn charcoal, which would lead to carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Fortunately, the mother had a change of heart when one of her
daughters started crying and coughing, and called the police.
All four were taken to hospital.
