Rekha Kumari-Baker

Davina and Jasmine Kumari-Baker were murdered by their mother who stabbed them to death at their home in Stretham, Cambridgeshire, England, while they slept on 13 June 2007.[2] Rekha Kumari-Baker was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum tariff of 33 years.[1][3] In 2010 the BBC stated that the punishment was "one of the longest jail terms given to a woman in the UK in modern times."[4]

The older daughter Davina, aged 16, was killed first, with Kumari-Baker stabbing her 39 times. The younger daughter Jasmine, aged 13, was found dead in her bed stabbed 29 times.[5]

The prosecutor stated that Rekha Kumari-Baker killed the girls as a form of revenge against her ex-husband and father of the girls, David Baker.[6] The murderer had purchased kitchen knives from ASDA, the murder weapons, on 11 June.[2]

Cambridgeshire County Council conducted a review into the murders and found they could not have been prevented and listed recommendations for social workers in relation to the review.[4]
