A mother who admitted suffocating her three young disabled children before trying to kill herself will not face trial for murder, a court has heard.
Tania Clarence, 42, had pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Olivia, four, and three-year-old twins Ben and Max by diminished responsibility - but denied murder.
At a hearing at the Old Bailey, judge Mr Justice Sweeney accepted her plea so she will no longer face trial in the New Year.
Prosecutor Zoe Johnson QC said: "It is clear on the evidence Mrs Clarence killed her three children because she wanted to end their suffering and at the time she committed the act she could not see any alternative or any other way out of their joint suffering."
Clarence, who was not in court, will be sentenced on 14 November when she is likely to face a hospital order.
The three children all had spinal muscular atrophy, a life-limiting genetic condition also known as floppy baby syndrome which leaves children with little or no control of their movement.
They were found dead by their nanny at the family's five bedroom home in New Malden, south London, on 22 April.
The children's father, investment banker Gary Clarence, was in his family's native South Africa with their eldest child, who is not affected by the illness, when he heard about the deaths.
