Summary: The father of two young boys, who were drowned by the hands of their mother is appalled by that the mother could be released from the hospital and set free. The mother's name is Allyson McConnell She admitted to have drowned her two songs in the bathtub of their home. During her trial she testified she didn't remember any of the events that happened that day. The court was informed: McConnell had a long history of attempted suicide, after being impregnated by her father when she was only 15. She had been charged last summer with second-degree murder for the drowning and sentence to 6 years in prison, but the charges were downgraded. From last summer she faced 15 months in custody and is eligible for parole in 10 months.
“I am appalled that a person who kills two innocent children and leaves their dead bodies (for her husband to find) next to the wedding ring she hadn't worn in months has only served 10 months,” the statement read.
McConnell is now leaving back to Australia. The province is fighting to ensure McConnell has to stay in Canada, but there is a deportation order in place. The father claims she never once apologized during the whole trial for drowned his two children.
Opinion: I think it is terrible for somebody to do such a thing, to children that are so young and innocent. They have their whole lives ahead of them, only to be cut short. I do believe McConnel should have served a longer sentence than just 10 months in prison. I believe she should have been kept with the original charges of 6 years in prison.
