Postpartum mom Lindsay Clancy killed 3 kids with extreme atrocity and cruelty using common household item, prosecutors say

Massachusetts mom Lindsay Clancy showed “extreme atrocity and cruelty” when she killed her three kids with exercise bands prosecutors argued, Thursday.Evidence from the scene — including the fact that her husband Patrick Clancy was able to quickly remove the bands from his children’s throats after finding them dead at their Duxbury home on Jan.24, 2023 suggests that the killings were savage and deliberate, according to prosecutors.Patrick was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher when he finally discovered Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month old Callan in the basement – and as police were headed down the stairs – crying, “She killed the kids!” according to court papers from last week.Patrick found the children, each with an exercise around their necks, but by the time first responders got to the basement, “each band [was] lying next to each child,” the filing alleges.“The brief time between finding each child and the fact that Mr.

Clancy was able to remove each band so quickly” suggested the theory that Lindsay may have tied the bands in a knot and walked away couldn’t be true, prosecutors claimed.Instead, the evidence suggested “she manually pulled the bands around each child’s neck until they died,” showing “the deliberateness of her acts and the extreme atrocity and cruelty of her acts,” the court papers alleged.Prosecutors revealed the evidence as they sought for Patrick’s 911 call to be admitted into Lindsay’s July trial, claiming it’s a critical piece of evidence in helping to prove their case, Court TV first reported.Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.
