Melbourne mother denies attempted murder charges after alleged creek crash
A Melbourne woman in her 30s has pleaded not guilty to multiple attempted-murder charges after allegedly trying to drown her three children by driving their car into a creek. A court heard that her mental health had deteriorated severely after the birth of her third child, and that she had searched online for ways to kill a child and sent distressing messages to her mother.
The children, all aged 12 or younger, reportedly escaped during the alleged incident after witnesses responded to their screams. Police say the woman initially described the event as an accident, while prosecutors cited her alleged internet searches and statements as evidence; a magistrate is due to decide her bail application on Wednesday.
