Woman appears in court in Bristol charged with the murder of her three children
The three children died of stab wounds at their home in Sea Mills
A woman has appeared in court charged with killing her three children.
Yasmeen Ali, 43, is accused of murdering seven-year-old Fares Bash, three-year-old Joury Bash and nine-month-old Mohammed Bash.
The three children died of stab wounds after an incident at their home in the Sea Mills area of Bristol in February last year.
During a brief hearing at Bristol Magistrates' Court, Ali, who appeared via video link from hospital, spoke only to confirm her name and date of birth.
Judge Lynne Matthews said: "These matters all have to be heard by the crown court.
"A hearing will take place at Bristol Crown Court tomorrow.
"I will remand you into custody."
The charges relate to an incident in Blaise Walk, Sea Mills.
An inquest previously heard the three children died of knife wounds, with injuries to their chests and necks.
Fares Bash also showed possible signs of asphyxia.
The inquest opening was attended by the children's father, Alfil Bash.
Speaking outside the hearing, he cried as he spoke of his devastation at the loss of his children and said he "could not get his head around what had happened".
Following the incident, Avon and Somerset Police referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) over prior contact, but the watchdog said no investigation was required.
