Brittany Pilkington
A woman identified as Brittany Pilkington has been arrested and charged to court by a Columbus Police in the United States of America for allegedly killing her three sons because she felt her husband loved them more than their 3-year-old daughter.
Columbus police said Pilkington was charged with three counts of murder. According to the police, Pilkington called 911 to report that her son was unconscious but hours later, she confessed to killing him and her two other young sons over the past several months because her husband showed the deceased boys more love than their daughter.
Pilkington was accused of killing 3-month-old Noah, Gavin, 4, who died in April, and 3-month-old Niall, who died in July 2014.
Upon receiving the call from the suspect, Police officers were dispatched to the family’s apartment on Tuesday morning.
Logan County prosecutor, William Goslee, told the court that upon interrogation, Pilkington confessed to killing each of her sons by placing a blanket over their head and suffocating them.
“In her mind she was protecting her daughter from being not as loved as the boys were by their father.” Goslee said.
The 3-year-old daughter, Hailey, was taken into custody by a county child welfare agency.
