Overview
- Jennifer B., 37, appears before the Gironde assize court on charges of murdering children under 15, an offense punishable by life imprisonment.
- She acknowledges pressing a soft toy over each infant’s face for about a minute but denies intending to kill them.
- Autopsies concluded the babies died of asphyxia caused by the doudou combined with complete occlusion of the nose and mouth by a hand.
- Case files cite a recent mother–child psychiatric hospitalization for postpartum depression, ongoing treatment, and phone evidence of a distress text and searches about adoption and sudden infant death.
- Neighbors say she seemed calm as they attempted resuscitation; one twin was declared dead at home, the other died later in hospital, and the father, now divorcing, opposes both acquittal and a life sentence.
