Mother shows court how she suffocated baby son and his sister, five, in Spanish hotel room as she feared social services were going to take them away

A Spanish courtroom fell silent yesterday as a British mother described calmly how she killed her two children after treating them to a ‘perfect’ beach holiday.

In a video interview with police, Lianne Smith demonstrated how she used a plastic shopping bag to suffocate Rebecca, five, and 11-month-old Daniel in their hotel beds on the Costa Brava.

As Daniel struggled for breath, she drew the bag closed around his neck and ‘did not stop squeezing’ until he was dead, Girona provincial court in north-east Spain heard.
