Fiona Donnison murdered her two and three year old,leaves them in bags.

[MissKerosene]

Mother Fiona Donnison, 43, was arrested after she went to police in a distressed state and with "apparent self-harm injuries" just before noon on Wednesday.

When police forced their way into her silver Nissan car, which was parked near the former family home in Heathfield, East Sussex, they found the bodies of Harry and Elise in two large holdalls in the boot.

Tests showed they had been dead for less than 24 hours when their bodies were discovered.

This is just heartbreaking. These two beautiful babies gone forever! There is no way I can get my head around this.

RIP Harry and Elise.

This is just heartbreaking. These two beautiful babies gone forever! There is no way I can get my head around this.

If you could you would be the same as she is. Be grateful you can't.

A family friend said that Paul Donnison, 46, had told officers that he feared his estranged wife Fiona may hurt them in the weeks before she allegedly killed them.

The friend said: "I think she had probably demonstrated personal traits that gave him cause to be concerned.

"He did say to me that he told police about the children's safety but I don't know under what circumstances he told them."

Police refused to confirm the accusation, but said they were "aware of previous contact with police in relation to this family."

It is likely that the Independent Police Complaints Commission will be brought in to investigate the dealings the police had had with the Donnison's before the deaths of Harry, 3, and Elsie, 2, were discovered on Wednesday.

Initial results from post-mortem examinations carried out on two young children – whose mother has been arrested for their murder – showed signs they died of asphyxiation.

It is believed they may have first been drugged with Nytol, a sleeping drug Mrs Donnison is said to have used.
[...]

They added that Mrs Donnison, who has two older children, Ollie, 13, and Will, 16, from a former marriage, was in a stable condition at Eastbourne District General Hospital with "apparent self-harm injuries".

She is not expected to be discharged until tomorrow, when police hope to question her about what happened.

Mrs Donnison and her husband have already suffered one tragedy when their first daughter Mia Florence died from sudden infant death syndrome, or cot death, in 2004.

A friend said: "She was just like any mother would be, absolutely devastated," she said, adding that she believed she suffered a short spell of depression afterwards.

The couple split just before Christmas and Mrs Donnison, who had recently lost her job in the City, moved to a flat in Lightwater, Surrey with the toddlers.

That's her defence sorted then.

Lying side-by-side in a single blue and pink coffin, the bodies of two innocent toddlers found murdered in the boot of their mother's car were laid to rest today.

More than 50 mourners gathered at the funeral of siblings Elise and Harry Donnison - aged two and three - who were allegedly suffocated by their mother Fiona in January.

Their tiny bodies lay in a single coffin, painted pink and blue and covered in stars and moons, with one pink and one blue teddy bear sitting at the foot of the box.
[...]

Mrs Donnison - a former City high flyer - was charged with their murder after walking into a police station with slit wrists and admitting there had been an 'incident.'

Donnison was charged after doctors ruled she was fit enough to be discharged from hospital where she had been treated for severe cuts.

The 43-year-old, from Lightwater, Surrey, is being held in a medium security psychiatric hospital awaiting trial.

She was not allowed to attend the funeral.
[...]

In November, she suffered another blow when custody of her two older children from a previous marriage, was given to her ex-husband, Derek McCrow.

'They are Gone'
'You can shed tears that they are gone, or you can smile because they have lived. You can close your eyes and pray that they'll come back or you can open your eyes and see all they left.' ...Paul Donnison, father to Elise and Harry.

...Mr Donnison described Harry and Elise as the 'lights that shone the brightest' in his life and wished for his 'little ones' to 'sleep well.

Shine bright in the heavens little ones forever together.





Children in boot asphyxiated-Video

[Dakota Valkyrie]

A MUM accused of smothering her two children to death was heard to rant “Harry, where are you? There you are. Peekaboo! I’m going to kill you.”

Hospital staff overheard Fiona Donnison after she had earlier staggered into a police station with a cut on her left wrist and said: “I’ve killed my children,” a court heard yesterday.

They 45-year-old former city worker, who had taken an overdose of sleeping tablets, then let out a horrific scream and fainted.

After a frantic 45-minute search police found the bodies of Harry, three, and Elise, two, hidden in sport holdalls in the boot of Donnison’s Nissan Note.

Harry was dressed in Roary the Racing Car pyjamas and Elise in a pink romper suit.

A jury at Lewes crown court heard how she had probably smothered them while they slept at home in Lightwater, Surrey.

Donnison, 45, then drove 90 miles, with their bodies in the car, to her ex-partner’s house in Heathfield in East Sussex.

She broke into the house and, armed with knives, waited for Paul Donnison, 48, to return.

When he didn’t show, she walked to Heathfield police station on January 27 and made her chilling confession. Christine Laing QC, prosecuting, said Donnison killed her children to wreak the “ultimate revenge” on their dad because he had recently started a relationship with an old schoolfriend, Alison Shimmens.

She said Donnison had tried to ruin his life by making a false assault allegation, trying to take the family home and by stopping him from seeing the children.
[...]

Donnison also left a suicide note to her two teenage sons from her previous marriage.

Part of it said: “By the time you have received this I will have gone to be with Harry, Elise and Mia. (The Donnisons’ first child who died from a suspected cot death in April 2004.)

“I am so sorry that Paul made your lives so miserable. He was a bad choice for all of you.”
[...]

Donnison, who claims she was suffering from depression and has no memory of the events, denies murder. The trial continues.

What a selfish bitch. "Donnison killed her children to wreak the “ultimate revenge” on their dad because he had recently started a relationship with an old schoolfriend, Alison Shimmens."

Possibly depressed I can understand that under the circumstances, but OMFG! to take her own children's lives to permanently change her ex's life forever....sick, sick and she knew very well what she was doing....and the chant, "...was heard to rant “Harry, where are you? There you are. Peekaboo! I’m going to kill you.” This woman has lost her soul...killed her very own angels.

Part of it said: “By the time you have received this I will have gone to be with Harry, Elise and Mia. (The Donnisons’ first child who died from a suspected cot death in April 2004.)

Don't count on seeing them anytime soon you loathsome wicked, woman. Next stop, hell.



In the heaven's always baby Elise and Harry Donnison.

[Obsolete]

I know this is terrible but the pic of the lil girl looks like a photo of a childs reconstructed skull, you know the ones LE distributes to the public when they need help identifying a body. I'm touched they were buried together.

their first daughter Mia Florence died from sudden infant death syndrome, or cot death, in 2004.

Accident or was she just warming up?

Jury retires in Fiona Donnison child murder trial

A jury has retired to consider its verdict in the trial of a mother accused of murdering her two children.

Fiona Donnison, 45, of Lightwater, Surrey, denies the murder of Harry, aged three, and two-year-old Elise.

Their bodies were found in holdalls in the boot of Ms Donnison's car, near the former family home in East Sussex.

The prosecution alleges Ms Donnison killed them to hurt their father, Paul. The defence claim she had depression and was not in her right mind.

'Ultimate pawns'
Judge Mr Justice Nicol told the jury of five men and seven women they must come back with a unanimous verdict.

Jurors have heard claims Ms Donnison, a former City worker, used the children as the "ultimate pawns", by killing them in order to hurt their father in the most extreme way possible.

Prosecutors told the court she smothered the children with their bedding before putting their bodies in the car.

Ms Donnison declined to give evidence herself during the trial.

But the defence argued she had suffered from depression at the time and said the charges should be reduced to manslaughter.

Jurors heard from mental health professionals who said she swallowed a blade from a pencil sharpener earlier this year, could not remember events surrounding the deaths, and could not bring herself to say the children's names.

I really hope she gets what she deserves. I, too, wonder if the first child actually died of SIDS or was this her first murder? I'd do some investigating if I were the cops. It's awfully easy, it seems, for this witch to do away with children.

RIP Harry and Elise. If there is any justice in the world, she will suffer for what she's done.

A mother has been found guilty of smothering her young children and hiding them in the boot of her car in an attempt to hurt her ex-partner.

Fiona Donnison killed three-year-old Harry and Elise, two, to punish their father, Paul Donnison, a court heard.

She has been sentenced to serve a minimum of 32 years in prison.

Only 32 years!?!? WTF....

Holy shit!

A mother convicted of murdering her two young children had also been charged with the death of a third child, it has emerged.

Fiona Donnison, 45, was yesterday found guilty of suffocating Harry, three, and Elise, two, after a bitter split from their father Paul.
[...]

But it emerged yesterday that police also believe she was responsible for the death of the couple’s first child, Mia, who died aged nine months.

When detectives found the bodies of Harry and Elise in the boot of her car, they re-examined the circumstances of Mia’s death in 2004. At the time, a post-mortem examination determined that she had died from cot death, but Donnison was charged with her murder last year.

It was alleged she smothered the baby because she was furious with her partner for attending his ex-wife’s birthday party.

In a distressing 999 call, the former City insurance manager was heard screaming down the phone, before calmly saying: ‘She’s not moving at all. Her eyes are completely shut. Oh no. What have I done?’

A judge dismissed the charge because of a lack of evidence, and the jury trying Harry and Elise’s murders were never told she had been charged.

Whatever the truth of Mia’s death, it had the effect of keeping the couple together.

At the time Mr Donnison was sharing a house with his ex-wife Linda and two older children, but after Mia’s death he moved in with Donnison in 2005 because he wanted to help her with such an ‘extraordinary loss’.
[...]

Paul Donnison was working as an insurance underwriter at a Lloyds syndicate in London when he met Fiona. Both were married at the time with two children each, but what started as a platonic friendship moved to something more.

Fiona Donnison, who left school at 18 and worked in Spain as a nanny for five years before landing her high-powered job as a credit manager, fell pregnant in the first months of their relationship and gave birth to Mia in 2003.

The baby’s death in April 2004 brought the couple closer together but by all accounts it was she who pulled the strings in their relationship.

Yeah, didn't we all suspect it?

GRRRRRRR This makes me so angry. I know a few so-called mothers who love to blame the men in their lives for all their dramas.

[Dakota Valkyrie]

A mother who murdered her two young children and placed their bodies in holdalls in the boot of her car has lost her appeal against her sentence.

Former City worker Fiona Donnison, 45, of Lightwater, Surrey, was given two life sentences and ordered to serve at least 32 years behind bars last August after jurors convicted her of the murders of three-year-old Harry and two-year-old Elise.

She sat with her head bowed in the dock of the Court of Appeal in London and showed no emotion as three judges rejected argument that the minimum term was too long.

Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge, sitting with Mr Justice Openshaw and Mr Justice Irwin, said: "In our judgment, the judge's decision about the relevant minimum term in this dreadful case was within the appropriate range and there is no basis with which we should interfere with the assessment that a minimum term of 32 years should be served."
[...]

The appeal judges had heard from Simon Russell Flint QC that the killings were in the context of a genuine suicide attempt by Donnison, who was suffering from some mental disorder, and there was a complete absence of premeditation. He said that she had been "at all times an excellent and dedicated mother", and there were particular stresses which tipped her over the edge so as to want to kill her children and then herself.

Lord Judge said that it was a "truly tragic case". On the basis of the evidence before him, and the jury's findings, the observation that the deaths were "the result of deliberate and wicked acts" was one he was entirely justified in making, he said.
