‘Doomsday mom’ Lori Vallow Daybell in her sentencing hearing for murdering her two children said she has spoken to them in heaven and that they ‘are happy’.

Vallow Daybell, 49, spoke when given the opportunity by a judge on Monday afternoon. She was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her kids Tylee Ryan, 16, and Joshua ‘JJ’ Daybell, 7, as well as conspiring to kill her husband’s ex-wife Tammy Daybell.

After putting on glasses, Vallow Daybell read from her statement: ‘Jesus knows me and Jesus understands me. I mourn with all of you who mourn my children and Tammy.

‘Jesus Christ knows the truth of what happened here.

‘No one was murdered in this case. Accidental deaths happen. Suicides happen. Fatal side effects from medications happen.’

Vallow Daybell claimed she died while giving birth in 2002 to her daughter Tylee. As doctors worked on her, she said ‘I felt my sprit falling to the floor’ and that she watched her body.

‘Because of this experience, I have access to heaven and the spirit world,’ she said.

‘Since then, I have had many communications from people now living in heaven including my children.

‘I know for a fact that my children are happy and busy in the spirit world.

‘Because of my communication with my friend Tammy Daybell, I know she is also very happy and extremely busy.’

Vallow Daybell faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
