A woman in the UK has been charged with a double murder after strangling her daughters and claiming it was an accident because they ‘got in the way of her sex life.’ The woman, who was known to whore herself out on Internet videos, even was taking and performing sexually explicit acts while waiting for her daughter in a hospital toilet according to a report:
Louise Porton, 23, was convicted by jury at Birmingham Crown Court after she was found to have researched the death of her two young daughters.
The part-time model from Beechwood Court, Rugby was the mother of three-year-old Lexi Draper and 16-month-old Scarlett Vaughan – who died 18 days apart.
Porton had denied responsibility for their deaths but was ultimately convicted after prosecutors had demonstrated both girls died after their mother “deliberately interfered with their breathing.”
She had told the court she had “no regrets” having her daughters and “loved them.”
“At times, her two children got in the way of her doing what she wanted, when she wanted and with whom she wanted”

But the mum, who had eared cash offering sex to men, and had sent explicit pictures and videos while Lexi was in hospital was found guilty.Lexi was first admitted to hospital by Porton on January 2 claiming she had suffered a seizue, but when she was re-admitted two days later, Porton messaged a man on modelling website PurplePort.
Porton admitted she had agreed to send explicit pictures from the hospital toilet in exchange for cash, as well as performing sex acts durin an upcoming photoshoot.
When she was asked why she did this while Lexi lay in hospital, Porton said: “Because I hadn’t been paid at the time from Universal Credit.”
In days after Lexi was discharged, Porton allegedly searched “can you actually die if you have a blocked nose and cover your mouth with tape” online.
Jurors were told the mother also looked for “how long after drowning can someone be resuscitated?” and accessed an article titled “Toddler brought back to life after nearly drowning.”
Both Lexi and Scarlett’s death were consistent with deliberate airway obstruction, and doctors “could not find any natural reason” why the children should have died.
Oliver Saxby, QC, prosecuting, told jurors at the start of the trial four weeks ago: “At times, her two children got in the way of her doing what she wanted, when she wanted and with whom she wanted.
“Putting it simply, and I hope neutrally, this wasn’t a life in which caring for her two young children – indeed, having two young children to care for – always easily fitted.”
The mother denied wrong doing throughout the trial and had told Police in a preprepared statement: “My children were never an inconvenience to me and I accommodated my lifestyle and personal life around them.
“I still don’t know how my daughters died, or what caused it.”
Detective Superintendent Pete Hill, of Warwickwhire Police said: “I will never be able to understand why Louise Porton murdered her children; Lexi and Scarlett.
“It is clear from the evidence that Porton tried to kill her daughter, Lexi, on at least two occasions prior to her death on January 15 2018.
“Not content with killing one of her children, she did exactly the same to her other daughter, Scarlett, on February 1, 2018.”

“It is clear from the evidence that Porton tried to kill her daughter, Lexi, on at least two occasions prior to her death on January 15 2018.
“Not content with killing one of her children, she did exactly the same to her other daughter, Scarlett, on February 1, 2018.”
“She has lied repeatedly to friends, family and professionals to cover her tracks.
“At no point throughout the whole investigation has she ever shown any real signs of emotion.
“Our thoughts are with the families of Lexi and Scarlett.”
Mrs Justice Yip will sentence Porton on Friday. (source, source)
