BENNINGTON — The Wellesley, Mass. mother, who is charged with strangling to death her two young children and leaving them in her bed, is expected back in the Commonwealth today to face two murder charges.

Janette R. MacAusland, 49, was no longer listed this morning as an inmate at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility in South Burlington.

The Vermont Department of Corrections new computerized inmate tracking system did not list her release time. It was unclear when Massachusetts authorities arrived and took her out of the prison for the 3 1/2 hour ride to Dedham, Mass.

Haley Somer, a spokeswoman for Commissioner Jon Murad said this morning the Vermont DOC now no longer provides the public with the prison discharge times for inmates.

The Norfolk District Attorney’s Office said in a joint statement this morning that its office and the Wellesley Police Department anticipate that MacAusland will be arraigned today on two counts of first-degree murder in Dedham District Court.

They said there is no scheduled time for the arraignment. Dedham is about a 3 1/2 hour drive from South Burlington. The court will call the case when the parties and court are prepared to address the matter, the statement said

MacAusland is charged in Norfolk County, Mass. with two counts of homicide for the deaths of Kai, 7, who was in second grade, and Ella MacAusland, 6, who was in kindergarten, in their home on Friday.

They were found there by Wellesley Mass. Police on Friday April 24 acting on a request by Bennington Police to conduct a welfare check.

Bennington Police said MacAusland was very distraught when she arrived at her aunt’s house on Northside Drive. MacAusland indicated she had killed the children, police said.

Autopsies were ordered, but complete results have not been announced. The toxicology reports are expected to tell if the children were provided any drugs before being strangled.

“I wanted the 3 of us to go to God together but it didn’t work,” a very distraught MacAusland was quoted as telling an aunt in Bennington upon arriving at her home on April 24, Bennington Police reported.

MacAusland had sustained a deep self-inflicted knife wound of her throat, court records show. She said she also contemplated jumping off the Quechee Gorge in Windsor County.

During a court hearing on April 27, MacAusland agreed to return to Massachusetts voluntarily for arraignment. Massachusetts officials were in no rush to retrieve her while they continued to investigate the double homicide.

The defendant, a 1995 Arlington Memorial High School graduate, had the maiden name of Whitman. She reportedly graduated from Vermont College in Montpelier with a bachelor’s degree in health studies.

MacAusland is in the midst of a bitter divorce case with Samuel MacAusland, with each parent wanting custody of the two children and the home, court records show.

Details about the double homicide are limited after the arrest warrant for two counts of murder was ordered sealed by a judge at the request of the office of Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey.

The court file might be unsealed when she is arraigned, spokesman David Linton said. Vermont courts do not allow for sealing of charging documents for people arrested.
