Massachusetts

A jury is deliberating in the trial of the Massachusetts mother charged with murdering her three small children

Lindsay Clancy's defence argues that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she killed her children. She has pleaded not guilty to murder.

Clancy is accused of killing her three children in Massachusetts in 2023 and her defence team point to severe postpartum mental illness.

Postpartum psychosis is a psychiatric emergency that can involve mania, depression, hallucinations and delusions.

Clancy's mother, sister and former mother-in-law have testified in court as the trial continues.

Lindsay Clancy has admitted killing her daughter and two sons but has pleaded not guilty to murder, saying she was experiencing postpartum psychosis.

The Massachusetts mother is charged with three counts of first-degree murder over the January 2023 deaths of her three children.
