A 42-year-old woman has been charged with murder and two counts of grievous bodily harm following an incident in Valley Heights, Blue Mountains, on Sunday where she allegedly stabbed three children—resulting in one death and two critical but stable injuries. The woman was refused bail after being transported to Westmead Hospital. Police stated the suspect had no prior police involvement, and there are no other suspects sought for this case. This incident occurred amid a series of violent events over the weekend in New South Wales that included three women allegedly murdered within 12 hours on Saturday, described by Deputy Commissioner Peter McKenna as devastating and unprecedented.

Story summary
In September 2024, a 42-year-old woman from the Blue Mountains was found not criminally responsible for stabbing her two sons to death. The boys were aged nine and eleven when their father discovered them in their family home. Before the incident, she had been struggling with major depression and made several disturbing internet searches related to suicide and killing children. These searches included queries like "Most Infamous Alleged Mommy Murderers in History" and "How To Respond When Your Child Says 'I hate you'."
The court ruled that due to her mental health condition, the woman was unable to reason at the time of the murders. She had been under significant stress after learning that her ex-husband's new partner was pregnant. Following the tragic deaths, she attempted to take her own life and was hospitalized with self-inflicted injuries.
Currently, the Mental Health Review Tribunal will determine where she will be detained for further treatment.
