She was also questioned about a comment she made to a doctor in the aftermath of the knife attack

A woman who stabbed her two children was today accused of causing herself superficial wounds "purely for effect."

The siblings sustained knife wounds in the family's home in Belfast on July 27, 2021. Their mother has already admitted stabbing the youngsters but has denied the two charges. Pointing out she stabbed both her son and daughter in the heart area and questioning her claim that she intended to kill herself after she stabbed her children, Mr Weir asked her "why did you not stab yourself in the heart?"

The accused said "I don't remember ... I don't even know how deep they were." And when Mr Weir put to her "they certainly weren't near you heart were they?, she replied "no." She was again accused of attacking her children out of spite towards her partner and replied "I didn't spite him. I wasn't raised to be spiteful to people."
