Description
This thesis examines three cases, in early 20th century Australia, involving young mothers killing infants and one case involving an older mother in a de-facto relationship who killed her three children. In only one case was the perpetrator found guilty and sentenced to death. There was a strong recommendation of mercy because of her youth and she was freed on probation.
