Mum sentenced for killing six-year-old son after hearing 'demonic voices'
A mum has been sentenced for killing her six-year-old son after hearing "demonic voices".
Karolina Zurawska, 42, previously pleaded guilty to the manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility of Alexander Zurawski. Alexander was found dead at a property in the Gendros area of Swansea on 29 August last year.
His mother was found next to him with a handsaw at her side. At Swansea Crown Court on Friday, Zurawska was also sentenced for the attempted murder of her 67-year-old father, Krzysztof Siwi, earlier the same day.
She was handed an indefinite hospital order. The manslaughter charge was accepted by the prosecution, with three psychiatric experts concluding Zurawska had been suffering from a "psychotic episode" at the time.
It affected her mental state so greatly that she was unable to understand what she was doing, the court heard. Judge Paul Thomas KC told her there was "strong and compelling evidence" she was acting in an "uncharacteristic manner.
