Mum 'stabbed daughters aged 3 and 17 months to death and said "if I can't have them, he can't either"'

A MUM who stabbed her two young daughters to death said: "If I can't have them, he can't have them either", after killing them, a jury has heard.
Samira Lupidi sobbed in the dock as she went on trial accused of murdering 17-month-old Jasmine Weaver and three-year-old Evelyn Lupidi at a women's refuge.
At one point the 24-year-old Italian was so upset she had to leave the courtroom as prosecutors outlined how the girls were found in their beds, each with nine stab wounds to the chest.

The court heard Lupidi met Mr Weaver via the internet when he was visiting his grandma in Italy.
After giving birth to Evelyn in 2012 they moved to Yorkshire where Jasmine was born in 2014.
Lupidi was to tell police that Mr Weaver was psychologically and financially controlling. He deprived her of money and he restricted her contact with family in Italy.
On 16 November, last year, whilst Mr Weaver was at work Lupidi called the police to their home in Church Lane, Heckmondwike, and alleged he had hit her on the arm and leg the previous evening.
Peter Moulson, QC, told the jury Lupidi believed Mr Weaver wanted rid of her after the baptism of the girls on the coming weekend.
