COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The preliminary hearing for a Colorado Springs mom accused of killing two of her children and injuring a third has been postponed to the end of next month.
That hearing will decide if there is enough evidence to go to trial.
Kimberlee Singler is facing murder charges after her two children were found dead in their apartment on Palomino Ranch Point, which is located near the intersection of Stetson Hills Boulevard and Tutt Boulevard in December, 2023.
It was initially reported as a burglary, however, investigators say they later found evidence indicating Singler, who was in a custody battle with her ex-husband at the time, was responsible.

The prosecution is also asking for new DNA swabs, fingerprints and photos, saying Singler's appearance has changed since she fled to the UK following the murders.
