A mum has been sentenced for killing her six-year-old son after hearing “demonic voices”.
Karolina Zurawska, 42, previously pleaded guilty to the manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility of Alexander Zurawski.
Alexander was found dead at a property in the Gendros area of Swansea on 29 August last year.
His mother was found next to him with a handsaw at her side.
At Swansea Crown Court on Friday, the judge also sentenced Zurawska for the attempted murder of her 67-year-old father, Krzysztof Siwi, earlier the same day.
She was handed an indefinite hospital order.
The court heard Zurawska had previously been the “best mother” to her son, who was recovering from a brain tumour which left him partially sighted and requiring a cane to walk.
