A mother
who stabbed her two young daughters to death said afterwards: 'If I
can't have them, he can't have them either', a jury has heard.
Samira
Lupidi, 24, sobbed in the dock as she went on trial accused of
murdering 17-month-old Jasmine Weaver and three-year-old Evelyn Lupidi
at a women's refuge.

At
one point, Lupidi was so upset she had to leave the courtroom as
prosecutors outlined how the girls were found in their beds, each with
nine stab wounds to the chest.
Peter
Moulson, QC, prosecuting, told the jury at Bradford Crown Court how
Italian-born Lupidi and her two girls had ended up in the refuge on
November 17 last year, after she called police to her home in
Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire.
Mr
Moulson said the defendant had told officers that the girls' father -
her partner, Carl Weaver, 31 - had slapped her twice the night before
and she was scared he was going to kill her.
