Akon Guode’s car crashed into Lake Gladman near her Wyndham Vale home on April 8, killing her four-year-old twins, Hanger and Madit, and 16-month-old son, Bol.

The 36-year-old was charged with their murder in August and the attempted murder of her six-year-old daughter, Aluel, who survived the crash.

Guode has been remanded in custody since the charges were laid.

The 36-year-old has not entered a plea yet and will appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday, reports Nine News.
