WELLESLEY, Mass. — Ella and Kai MacAusland, who were allegedly killed by their mother, will be laid to rest today in Wellesley.
The children, ages 6 and 7-years ago, were found dead in their home back in April.
Their mother, 49-year-old Janette MacAusland, was charged with murder after she showed up at her aunt’s house in Vermont and confessed to killing them.
MacAusland and her husband were going through a custody battle, and a divorce at the time of their children’s deaths.
