Pregnant Mum 'Kills Herself And Three Children'


A Heavily-pregnant mum is thought to have killed herself and her three young children after leaving a Facebook message stating: “We’ll never be hurt again.”

Fiona Anderson is said to have leapt 40ft from a multi-storey car park. Just hours later Levina, three, son Addy, two, and 11-month-old boy Kyden were found dead at her flat half a mile away. Friends revealed the “brilliant mum”, 23, had left a string of despairing Facebook updates after Craig McLelland — the father of her children — left her for someone else.

Just hours before her body was found at about 8am yesterday, Fiona posted a scan of her unborn baby, who she named Evalie, and wrote: “I love them, I’ll keep them safe.”

She had earlier written: “No one wants us. No one will help us.

“The people who are supposed to help us just tell lies and try to take my babies away.

“Craig was all we had, now he’s gone.”

Fiona, of Lowestoft. Suffolk, added: “Mummy loves you so much and I’ll always be there looking after you.

“I’m sorry I let you get hurt. We’ll never be hurt again.”


A Home Office pathologist was last night carrying out post mortems on the children to find out how they died. Mr McLelland arrived at the flat they lived in at about 7.30pm as neighbours left teddy bears, cuddly toys and flowers outside.

He said: “I found out this morning when I got a call saying somebody had committed suicide and I had a feeling who it was.”

After seeing the tributes, he added: “It is really touching to see that people care.


Fiona’s friend Karleigh Burlingham, 20, said Craig had left her about a month ago.

She added: “Her kids were healthy and well brought up. She must have been going through a very tough time.”

Another friend said: “We heard she put a status on her Facebook page last night saying, ‘My babies will go with me’. I don’t think anyone thought she would harm herself, let alone her children. It is just awful.”

Investigating officers last night said they were treating the deaths as “suspicious”.
