The prosecutor in charge of the case had requested a life sentence.
The prosecutor pointed out that there is more than enough evidence in the case to prove the woman's guilt. According to the prosecutor, the suspect was found to be researching information on ways to murder people from September of 2014 until the day of the murder - October 10, 2014.
The prosecution believes that the woman murdered her children so that they dis not get in the way of her private life. The two boys, aged 1 and 3 years old were suffocated with a pillow.
Meanwhile, the suspect claimed her innocence in court and denies the charges against her.
As reported, in the village of Balozi, near Riga, the bodies of two young boys (1.5 and 3 years-old) were found in an apartment on October 10, 2014.
The mother, born 1987, called medics and told them at the time that she had gone out for about an hour and when she returned the boys were already dead.
The mother had not been considered a risk by social services.
