22 year-old Felicia Chen, the young lady accused of killing her 3 children was back in Magistrates Court today. She had been remanded to a Mental Health facility because the psychologist, Dr. Elma Augustine, certified that she was a danger to herself due to severe clinical depression.

So, she was remanded to the hospital until her next court date, which is set for May 22, 2013. Chen is now being represented by Human Rights attorney, Antoinette Moore.

As we reported, Chen is accused of a triple infanticide, in which she allegedly drowned her babies, 4 year old Triana, 3 year old Thomas, and 1 year old Trinaya Teul, all the death.
