CONVINCED her children were about to be brainwashed by their "cult leader" grandparents, a young mother decided her family's salvation lay in death.

Last April she placed her three children, aged 16, 10 and 2, in the family car and crashed head-on into a tree at 100km/h.

Acting Chief Justice Margaret Nyland made the ruling based on expert mental health reports which she later released to The Advertiser.
