Mother drowned 3-year-old daughter in bathtub after wrongly suspecting husband was having an affair
'I don't want a bath mummy,' Bethan is believed to have said to her mother Claire Colebourn before she was drowned in a bath tub
The final words of a three-year-old girl who was "drowned by her mother after she became paranoid that her husband was having an affair" have been revealed in court.
"I don't want a bath mummy," Bethan Colebourn is believed to have told her mother Claire Colebourn, who drowned the toddler in a bath tub at their Hampshire home in October 2017, as she "did not want her to go anywhere near her father."
Colebourn, a former science teacher, was seen sobbing while in the docks at Winchester Crown Court as the prosecutor shared how she had wrongly presumed that her husband Michael, a company director, was having an affair with a colleague at work.
The mother then researched how to commit suicide just before she allegedly drowned Bethan.
