A mother was in tears as she admitted stabbing her daughters to death. Samira Lupidi, 24, admitted killing Evelyn, three, and Jasmine Weaver, in Bradford, West Yorkshire last November.

The Italian woman appeared at Bradford Crown Court today and cried as she entered her plea to the charges against her.
 

In broken English, she said: 'Not guilty to murder but guilty to manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility.'

Prosecutor Stephen Wood said the Crown would not accept Lupidi's pleas.

Lupidi, dressed in a white blouse and blue jeans, appeared distressed in the dock.

Family members of Jasmine and Evelyn watched on from the public gallery during the short hearing.

Remanding her in custody, Judge Roger Thomas QC said: 'You will be back here for trial in a couple of weeks and will be remanded in custody until then.'

She will now stand trial for murder on May 9.

Police found the two girls were found with stab wounds at a shared home in Bradford.

Three police vans attended the scene of the deaths, and the area was cordoned off for several hours as forensic officers searched for evidence.

Their father Carl Weaver, 31, was described as 'devastated' over the deaths of his daughters, according to relatives.
