An Ohio woman has confessed to police that she killed her three sons because she said her husband was ignoring their daughter.
Police had at first ruled out foul play in the deaths of Brittany Pilkington’s three-month-old boy in July 2014 and her four-year-old son in April.
But when a third son was found dead on Tuesday, police took Ms Pilkington in for questioning and she confessed.
She told police she killed the boys by suffocating them with blankets.
Ms Pilkington, 23, was charged with three counts of murder and has been jailed.
