A MUM has pleaded guilty to killing her seven-year-old son after he was found strangled to death at home.
Papaipit Linse, 43, was arrested following the horror in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in January.
Son Louis was rushed to hospital but declared dead less than two hours later.
Linse appeared at Swansea Crown Court today where she pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
The charge was accepted by prosecutor Caroline Rees KC after reviewing a psychiatric report.
Linse, who was originally charged with murder, is currently being held in custody at the Caswell Clinic, a medium secure mental health unit.
Ms Rees said: “(We) will accept the pleas to manslaughter which we understand is to diminished responsibility.
“No trial will be needed in this case.”
The mum-of-two will be sentenced at the same court on December 13.
Judge Paul Thomas KC said: “It’s a sensitive as well as a tragic case.”
The horror unfolded on January 10 when emergency crews were scrambled to the home, which used to be a physiotherapy studio.
Linse was born in Thailand and describes herself on social media as a “mum and freelancer with two British kids”.
Her husband Edward, 51, is currently in a secure psychiatric hospital after he battered his wife with a Peppa Pig book in 2017.
He also attacked his wealthy parents at their £1.2million Cheshire home following a 40-year grudge.
A Dyfed-Powys Police spokesman said: “We were called to an address in Upper Market Street at 10.45am on Wednesday, January 10.
“Sadly, a seven-year-old boy was confirmed to have died shortly after. Our thoughts remain with his loved ones at this tragic time.”
