A Queensland mother who
left her two babies sleeping in a car on a hot summer's day
has been committed to stand trial for murder.
It is alleged Kerri-Ann Conley left her two young daughters,
Darcey, aged two, and Chloe-Ann, aged one, in her black Mazda
station wagon when she arrived home in Logan, south of Brisbane, at
5am after visiting a friend's house.
It is alleged she then entered her home and fell asleep.
The girls remained in the car for several hours as temperatures
rose to over 30 degrees Celsius on a November day in 2019.
Ms Conley did not realise the children were there until around
1pm.
Witnesses gave statements to the police that the mother found
her children at that time, removed them from the car and rushed
them inside – trying to revive them by splashing them with
cool water.
