Brittany Pilkington

The mother of all three children, Brittany Pilkington, confessed to killing her three children over a 13-month period, Ohio prosecutors say. The same day her third son died, the 24-year-old mother from Bellefontaine told police that she put a blanket over all three of the children's faces and placed her hand over their noses and mouths.

A US mother in Ohio admitted killing her three young sons in separate incidents over the past 13 months because her husband paid more attention to the boys than a daughter, police said.
