2023 triple filicide in Massachusetts, United States

On January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy allegedly fatally strangled her three children—five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan—at the family's home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, United States.

Lindsay later said she heard an auditory hallucination commanding her to commit the acts and felt unable to resist. Wikipedia →
