Lebanese mother confesses to wiping out family

Nov 21, 2009, 10:50 GMT

Beirut - A Lebanese mother found dead with her three daughters left a videotaped confession that she poisoned the family, Lebanese media reported Saturday. Grace Jalakh, 40, said she had poisoned herself and her three young daughters because her husband has been working in Bahrain for years and she 'cannot take it anymore.' The taped confession was aired on Lebanese television. Jalakh was found dead with daughters Melissa, 13, Madison, 10, and Alfreda, 7, at their apartment in the town of Bhorsaf, northeast of Beirut, early Friday. They had apparently eaten dishes of processed fruit laced with poison. The bodies were discovered by Jalakh's husband, Paul, a horse trainer who had just returned from a six-day trip to the Gulf. Police are continuing their investigations to see if there were other reasons which might have prompted the mother's action.
