Jake and Chloe Ford
The parents of a mother who drowned her toddler twins have said there were “missed opportunities” to help their daughter as a coroner ruled the deaths as unlawful killing.
Samantha Ford killed her 23-month-old children Jake and Chloe on Boxing Day 2018 at her home in Castle Drive, Margate, Kent, after her split from their father Steven Ford a few months beforehand.
Mr Justice Edis sentenced Ford to 10 years at the Old Bailey in August 2019, to be served in a psychiatric unit.
She had denied murder but admitted manslaughter by diminished responsibility.
Following a week-long inquest which heard that Ford suffered an acute stress reaction to the ending of her marriage, coroner Christopher Sutton-Mattocks reached a conclusion of unlawful killing.
