The bodies of her children were found in the yard of her husband's property, and he is also set to stand trial for their murder. Vallow denied responsibility for their deaths and claimed they were accidental or suicides.

American Tourist Arrested for Vandalizing Ancient Roman Statues at Israel Museum

An American tourist has been arrested for allegedly smashing two ancient Roman statues in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, claiming they were "against the Torah". The statues, a sculpture of Athena and a statue of a griffin, have been moved for restoration. The suspect's identity has not been released, and his lawyer denies religious fanaticism as the motive. This incident follows a similar act of vandalism by a Jewish American tourist in February. The museum remains open and condemns all forms of violence.
