A MUM who fled to Britain with her children to escape a failed marriage has made a last-ditch bid against extradition to stand trial for kidnap in the US.
Eileen Clark, 53 of West Way, Botley, Oxford, quit the home she shared with husband, John Clark, in New Mexico in 1995, taking the couple’s three children with her.
She was arrested at her Oxford home last year and bailed. Her case was due to be heard this week, but Lord Justice Moore-Bick has agreed to adjourn the case after her barrister, Rebecca Hill, said time was needed to gather fresh medical evidence on her mental state.
