Louise Porton born in the UK, 1996, Had two children 3 year old Lexi and 17 month old Scarlett and lived in Beechwood Court, Rugby, Warwickshire.
The landlady at the property said to have spent more and more time caring for Louise’s children so she could go out socialising. Testifying that Louise would do whatever she could not to spend time with her own children. The children’s father was not in their lives and had in fact never met Scarlett, Louise admitted that she found parenting harder than she thought it would be.
January 2018 Lexi was admitted to the hospital multiple times she was taken to the hospital on the 2nd and again of the 4th of January suffering from breathing difficulties, thanks to the work of the paramedics, Lexi was able to be saved Her symptoms suggested deliberate airway obstructions the doctors believing it was caused by a chest infection, all the while Lexi is very ill and in hospital, Louise showed very little care or concern, sending nudes to a photographer from the toilets in the hospital and offering sex in return for money. Just a few days after the last hospital visit Louise once again called 999 stating that her daughter was ill again when asked if the daughter was breathing Louise just said ‘no’. When help arrived it seemed that Lexi had been dead for a while before Louise rang 999. Again Louise seemed to not care seemingly unfazed by her daughters death spending the next day swiping through a dating site and messaging men on other sites arranging to meet them and casually mentioning to one that her daughter passed away yesterday while having a casual chat about tattoos. At the funeral parlour two weeks after her daughters death she was heard to be laughing on face time chatting with a man. Only two days after that Louise’s other daughter suddenly passed away Louise called 999 telling the operator that her daughter was unwell but that she didn’t think it was urgent. Upon arrival the paramedics found the toddler dead and again it seemed she had been dead for a while before calling for help. This death also seemed consistent with deliberate airway obstruction and Louise still seemed very unconcerned by her second daughters death. The doctor could not find a natural reason for withers death and due to this and Louise’s demeaner the suspicion fell on Louise, police soon discovered that she had made a string of incriminating internet searches through January seeming to suggest she had killed her children and covered it up. She had searched death, breathing and drowning and researched how long it took for a body to go cold up to the shoulder. After Lexi had been discharged she searched ‘can you die if you have your nose blocked and cover mouth with tape?’ and other searches about toddlers drowning. She was tried in 2019 and found guilty of both murders she was sentenced to a minimum of 32 years.
