A Colorado mother who is accused of killing two of her children has been arrested in the United Kingdom having been on the run.
Kimberlee Singler, a singer from Colorado Springs, is wanted by police for alleged murder, attempted murder, and child abuse.
Her ex-husband, Kevin Wentz identified the two dead children, 9-year-old Elianna and 7-year-old Aden, on Sunday.
Two weeks after the children’s tragic deaths, Singler remained on the run until she was taken into custody in the UK.
The location of her arrest was not revealed.
A spokesperson for the Colorado Springs Police Department said they are not releasing any more information for now.
Singler had been in a custody battle with her ex-husband and was about to have her kids taken from her care, according to reports.
Mr Wentz claims the issues have snowballed since their divorce back in 2018.
Singler obtained a Temporary Protection Order in El Paso County against Wentz after she alleged he threatened her with a knife.
Mr Wentz denies the charge but the order stood until January 24 with an appeal hearing scheduled.
The ex-husband has also said he has cooperated fully with the police investigation into the deaths of the two children.
He posted on Facebook: “She’s been found!!” when Singler was arrested.
Singler and her 11-year-old daughter were treated for injuries at the scene of her arrest.
The Singler family said in a statement of their own Saturday: “Following the statement made by the Wentz family attorney we decided to release a similar statement.
“We are cooperating fully with the police in their efforts to locate Kimberlee and we ask for the public help in finding her. We are grieving deeply over this horrific tragedy and we ask for privacy and prayers as we navigate this storm.
“Our focus is on God and His glory and our surviving niece. We hope everyone remembers the innocence involved in this and our sole goal is protecting her. Please pray for all involved for healing and peace as we seek answers, and grant us our privacy. Thank you.”
A Colorado court has set a $10 million bond as Singler faces four counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of child abuse and one count of assault.
It is still not clear whether Singler was aided when she went on the run.
