Mother Allegedly Killed 5-Year-Old Son With Autism — Then Tried to Kill Herself Over 'Challenges of Caring' for Him
Claire Button is on trial this week for the alleged murder of her 5-year-old son Lincoln just 10 days before Christmas
Claire Button, 35, is on trial this week in the Basildon Crown Court where she faces a murder charge in connection with the death of her 5-year-old son Lincoln at their family’s home last year, according to Essex Live and the Manchester Evening News. BBC previously reported earlier this year that the mother denied intentionally murdering her son, though Essex Live and Manchester Evening News reported this week that she has since admitted to manslaughter.
