A Californian mother has faced court accused of killing her twin daughters with a samurai sword.
Monica McCarrick, 28, allegedly stabbed her three-year-old girls, set fire to her apartment and then stabbed herself on October 12.
Neighbours of the Fairfield woman smelled smoke eminating from her home and ran to help, the New York Daily News reports.
One neighbour managed to break in through a sliding glass door that led to Ms McCarrick's bedroom.
"Once I actually got past her room there was a sword, a bloody katana-style Japanese fighting sword, in the hallway and a bottle of pills," the neighbour, Andre Douglas, said.
Firefighters arrived shortly after and rushed Ms McCarrick to hospital where she was placed on suicide watch.
She has since left hospital and been sent to prison, where she is bound to a wheelchair and wears bandages for her injuries.
She has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, child abuse, arson, and destruction of evidence.
The District Attorney's office has not confirmed whether they will pursue the death penalty in the case.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
