Kara Alexander, a 47-year-old mother, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of her two young sons, Elijah Thomas, 2, and Marley Thomas, 5. The tragic incident occurred in December 2022 at their home in Dagenham, east London, where Alexander drowned the boys in the bath while in a psychotic state.
Alexander was found guilty of two counts of murder at Kingston Crown Court in February this year, despite denying the charges. The court heard that post-mortem examinations revealed the boys had either drowned or suffocated. During the trial, Alexander admitted to placing the boys in the bath but claimed it was an accident.

Justice Joel Bennathan sentenced Alexander to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 21 years and 252 days. The judge described the scene where the children’s father found his deceased sons next to each other as “the stuff of nightmares”. This sentencing brings some closure to the case, but the loss of the two young lives will have a lasting impact on their family and community.
Bennathan said:
“On the evening of 15 December 2022, you’d been smoking skunk.
“You’d been doing so every night for weeks, probably much longer. At some stage, both the boys were in their pyjamas ready for bed, with Elijah also wearing his nappy.
“You drowned them both by your deliberate acts.”
He added, “From all that I have read and seen of you, I have no doubt that every day when you awake you will remember and grieve for the little boys whose lives you snatched away.”
In his sentencing remarks, Bennathan also warned of the dangers of drugs.
He said: “The heavy use of skunk or other hyper-strong strains of cannabis can plunge people into a mental health crisis in which they may harm themselves or others.
“If any drug user does not know that, it’s about time they did.”
