Heartless Mother Jailed 26 Years For Doing This Evil Thing To Her Three Kids (Photos)

A mother who escaped civil war in South Sudan before relocating to Australia has been sentenced to 26 years in prison for killing her children.
A mother who admitted killing three of her children and attempting to murder a fourth by driving her car into a lake has been jailed 26 years in Australia on Tuesday, AFP reports.
The woman identified as Akon Guode, who came to Australia after fleeing civil war in South Sudan, plunged the vehicle into the lake on the outskirts of Melbourne in 2015, killing one-year-old son, Bol and four-year-old twins, Hanger and Madit.
Australian rescuers were forced to pull her and five-year-old daughter Alual from the sinking vehicle. In handing down his sentence, Justice Lex Lasry said the 37-year-old suffered from post traumatic stress syndrome but why she had driven into the lake remained a “tragic mystery”.
“The sentence I’m about to impose is in some respects inadequate to reflect the gravity of what you’ve done, yet at the same time excessive given your mental state and your background of hardship and desperation,” he said.
Nonetheless “these are obviously grave offences”, Lasry added.
“These children trusted you as their mother as they were entitled to do. Your betrayal of that trust had catastrophic consequences whatever the true reasons were for your consequences.”
The defence told the court Guode suffered severe psychological trauma from the civil war.
Witnesses said before the tragedy Guode had complained of receiving threats from the estranged wife of the children’s father — with whom she had been having a long affair — and had isolated herself from the Sudanese community.
The mother-of-seven’s eldest daughter had previously told the court she was concerned about Guode’s driving as she had been experiencing dizzy spells for six months leading up to the deaths.
Guode, who reportedly wailed as her sentence was handed down in the Victorian Supreme Court, will spend a minimum 20 years behind bars before being eligible for parole.

The 24-year-old is hitting it deep online for her very distinctive dark complexion and for not trying to bleach her skin as some would. She loves her dark skin, and she’s prepared to clap back at anyone who has anything negative to say about it — including an Uber driver who decided it was his job to ask if she would consider bleaching. “I was [asked by] my Uber driver the other day, he said, ‘Don’t take this offensive but if you were given 10 thousand dollars would you bleach your skin for that amount?’” the beauty queen wrote on Instagram in late March. “I couldn’t even respond I started laughing so hard.” “[Then] he said, ‘So that a no’ and I was like hell to the f*king yeah [that’s] no, why on earth would I ever bleach this beautiful melanin God [blessed] me ...

Coronavirus: Cyprus close to containing virus says minister

Cyprus is close to reaching its target of containing the coronavirus but is not yet there, Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou said on Thursday. In a statement on Twitter, Ioannou said: “Day by day we are reaching our goal of containing the (coronavirus) cases. However, we have not yet reached the end.” The Republic has so far recorded 790 cases but results in recent days seem to show that strict restrictions placed on the population appear to be working as the daily tally of new cases dropped. The government was now focusing on a strategy of restarting the economy, which has been effectively shut down for the past two months. Any move towards that direction would depend on the epidemiological data of the coming days. At 11:30am Thursday, President Nicos Anstasiades is expected to brief party leaders on the developments regarding the pandemic and the economic fallout following an earlier meeting of the cabinet. The discussion will focus on then plan to relax restrictions a...
