A Bashaw mother accused of trying to burn her husband and children alive has had her arraignment adjourned another month.

The 42-year-old woman, whose name is withheld because a publication ban protects the identities of the children, was charged with attempted murder and arson after a fire just before Christmas 2010.

In Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on Monday, the matter was put over to June 3.

At a previous appearance, the Crown said his office wanted to investigate further to determine the woman’s mental health and if she was criminally responsible for what she is alleged to have done.
