Cops rushed to a house on Walpole Road, in Huddersfield, in February earlier this year after residents reported hearing screams.

The defendant has admitted to three counts of attempted murder at Leeds Crown Court today.

As reported by PA, Defence barrister, Abdul Iqbal KC, told the court that a psychiatric evaluation carried out by two experts determined the defendant "did not suffer with the legal definition of insanity" and was fit to plead.

But, Mr Iqbal said, both experts concluded she was "labouring under mental health problems when she committed these acts".

The defence barrister recommended a hospital order as the appropriate sentence.

Judge Geoffrey Marson KC told the defendant her sentencing would be set at a later date while waiting on further pre-sentence reports.

The defendant is remanded in custody until then.
