Kara Alexander, a mother in a psychotic state, was sentenced to life in prison for killing her two small sons in the bathtub.

In December 2022, Alexander was convicted of drowning Elijah Thomas, age 2, and Marley Thomas, age 5, at their Dagenham, east London, home.

The 47-year-old was found guilty in February of this year at Kingston Crown Court after denying two charges of murder.

The boys’ post-mortem examinations revealed that they had either suffocated or drowned.

During the trial, Alexander acknowledged that she had put the boys in the bathtub prior to their “accidental” drowning.

The judge, Justice Joel Bennathan, returned to Kingston Crown Court on Friday and sentenced Alexander to life in prison with a minimum of 21 years and 252 days.

The court described it as “the stuff of nightmares” for the father of the children to find his dead boys next to each other.

Bennathan said: “On the evening of 15 December 2022, you’d been smoking skunk.

“You’d been doing so every night for weeks, probably much longer. At some stage, both the boys were in their pyjamas ready for bed, with Elijah also wearing his nappy.

“You drowned them both by your deliberate acts.”

He added, “From all that I have read and seen of you, I have no doubt that every day when you awake you will remember and grieve for the little boys whose lives you snatched away.”

Bennathan also spoke about the risks associated with narcotics in his sentencing remarks.

He said: “The heavy use of skunk or other hyper-strong strains of cannabis can plunge people into a mental health crisis in which they may harm themselves or others.

“If any drug user does not know that, it’s about time they did.”
