Theresa Riggi, Her Three ‘Killed’ Children And An Edinburgh House Fire

MEET Theresa Riggi. The Sun says she is “thought” to have murdered, sorry, “slaughtered” her three children, twin sons Gianluca and Augustino, and daughter Cecilia, 5. She “stabbed” them, suggests the Sun.

Riggi, 46, is believed to have then thrown herself off a second floor balcony of a three-story house in Edinburgh as a small fire burnt.
