Police initially responded to a burglary report at the woman's home, but investigators determined the report was unfounded.
The Colorado Springs mother accused of killing two of her children was taken into custody in the United Kingdom, the Colorado Springs Police Department announced Sunday.
Kimberlee Singler was taken into custody without incident on Saturday, police said. Additional details surrounding the U.K. arrest were not disclosed.
The 35-year-old is accused of killing her two young children — a 9-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy — and wounding her 11-year-old daughter after police initially responded to a report of a burglary at their home in Colorado Springs on Dec. 19.
Singler was cooperative at first with police investigating the deaths but then went missing as the probe — which eventually determined the burglary report was unfounded — continued, according to Colorado Springs Police Department spokesperson Ira Cronin.
Singler and her injured 11-year-old daughter were both treated at the scene. They were then transported to local hospitals. Singler was allowed to leave the hospital because police did not have enough probable cause at the time, police said. She was then considered a victim and witness.
