Akon killed one-year-old Bol and four-year-old twins Hanger and Madit back in April 2015 when she drove her car into a lake in southern Australia.
Six-year-old Alual, thankfully, managed to survive the ordeal.
According to the BBC, Guode, who is originally from South Sudan, pleaded guilty to one count of infanticide, two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in the Supreme Court of Victoria.
