A US mother accused of shooting two of her children at their home in Colorado was "begged" by her third child not to kill her, a UK court has heard.

Kimberlee Singler has attended the start of her extradition hearing in London after being accused of murdering her daughter Elianna, 9, and son Aden, 7, who were found dead in their bedroom in Colorado Springs on 19 December last year.

The eldest child, aged 11 at the time, survived being stabbed in the neck but needed emergency surgery, Westminster Magistrates' Court heard.

Through her defence barrister Ms Singler, 36, denied responsibility for the deaths and the attack on the third child.
