Harry and Elise Donnison
A woman is due to go on trial today accused of murdering her two toddlers whose bodies were found in the boot of a car.
The bodies of three-year-old Harry and two-year-old Elise Donnison were found zipped up in two separate holdalls in the boot of a Nissan car near the former family home in Heathfield.
Results from post-mortem examinations showed they probably died from asphyxiation either on January 26 or 27 last year, and appeared to have been dead for less than 24 hours when they were found.
Their mother, Fiona Donnison, 44, formerly of Marshwood Road, Lightwater, Surrey, denies two counts of murder.
She will go on trial at Lewes Crown Court from 10.30am. The case is expected to last up to five weeks.
