Lebanese mother confesses to wiping out family

Beirut, Nov 21

A Lebanese mother found dead with her three daughters left a videotaped confession that she poisoned the family, local 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 any more".

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.
