Mum pleads guilty to killing her three children

A mother has admitted killing her three children at their home.

The bodies of Fares Bash, seven, Joury Bash, three, and nine-month-old Mohammed Bash were discovered on Blaise Walk in Sea Mills, Bristol, on 18 February 2024.

Appearing at Bristol Crown Court earlier, Yasmeen Ali, 44, admitted three charges of manslaughter. She is due to be sentenced later.

An inquest into the deaths was previously told the three children died of knife wounds, with injuries to their chests and necks. Fares Bash also showed possible signs of asphyxia.

The children's father Alfil Bash previously spoke of his devastation at the loss of his children, saying he "could not get his head around what had happened".
