Child Killer Theresa Riggi Found Dead
A mother who killed three of her children has been found dead at a high security hospital.
Theresa Riggi, 50, was put behind bars for 16 years for stabbing her eight-year-old twins, Austin and Luke, and her daughter Cecilia aged 5, in August 2010.
After killing her children, Riggi was badly injured in a gas explosion, which she created, and jumping from the second floor balcony of the property.
Calfornia-born Riggi broke her pelvis, however she survived after a neighbour attempted to catch her.
A Nottinghamshire Police spokesperson said: "We can confirm that we were called to Rampton in the early hours of this morning to the death of a woman.
"It's not being treated as suspicious and we are preparing a file for the coroner."
