LAVAL, Que. — A Quebec mother charged in the deaths of her two daughters says she has no recollection of what happened the day they died.

Adele Sorella is testifying in her own defence for a second day at her first-degree murder trial in the deaths of Amanda and Sabrina De Vito.

The girls, aged 9 and 8, were found dead in the family playroom, dressed in their school uniforms.

The cause of death was never established, but the girls had been in good health.

Sorella told the jury today that she remembers just bits and pieces of March 31, 2009 — being with her children early in the morning, saying goodbye to her mother and driving her car.

But she said she doesn’t remember an automobile accident, after which she was arrested.

“For me that day is a blank,” Sorella told the jury. “It’s something that I tried so many times to rebuild, to get answers.”
