An Australian woman who killed eight children in a stabbing attack at her home will not stand trial because she was of "unsound mind" at the time. The legal decision - made last month but only now made public - means she cannot be held criminally responsible. The house where the children, aged between two and 14, were killed has been demolished. Several psychiatrists testified that it was likely that Thaiday's mental state had deteriorated in the months before the killings. He found his mother in front of the house with 35 self-inflicted stab wounds.
