A Wellesley mother is facing murder charges in the death of her children.
Janette MacAusland is accused of allegedly killing her six and seven-year-old children on Friday night.
She is being held in a Vermont jail and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
Both children attended Schofield Elementary School in Wellesley.
Police in Massachusetts say that the mother was in the midst of a custody battle with her estranged husband.
