EXCLUSIVERevealed: Mother-of-two charged with murdering her seven-year-old son was assault victim when husband battered her with daughter's Peppa Pig book
A mother-of-two accused of murdering her seven-year-old son was an assault victim when her husband battered her with their daughter's Peppa Pig book six years ago, MailOnline can reveal.
Papapait Linse, 42, was arrested after the body of her son Louis was found by police at a house in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, on Wednesday following a 999 call.
Linse spoke only to confirm her name, address and date of birth during a five-minute hearing at Swansea Magistrates' Court today.
Dressed in a grey tracksuit and wearing glasses, she appeared composed and thanked the magistrates who remanded her to Swansea Crown Court next Tuesday.
MailOnline can reveal that the murder accused, who was born in Thailand, is the wife of 51-year-old Edward Linse - a former businessman who was sent to a secure psychiatric hospital following a series of attacks.

In 2017, Linse erupted with rage at his wife when their child burst into tears during bath time at his parents' £1.2million home in the village of Nether Alderley, Cheshire.
He launched a tirade of abuse at his wife, calling her a 'b****' and hitting her repeatedly with a shoe before grabbing the Peppa Pig book and hitting on the head with it.
When police arrived at the scene her husband retorted: 'It was just a flimsy Peppa Pig book'. Linse admitted assault by beating, but was spared jail time.
But months later Linse attacked his wealthy parents at the same £1.2million home over a 40-year grudge that began with him being sent to boarding school.
The brutal late night attack came after the 51-year-old repeatedly demanded that his parents 'compensated' him for his 'suffering' while studying at an all-boys public school in the 1980s.
He admitted grievous bodily harm on his father and common assault on his mother but was spared jail and taken to a secure psychiatric hospital instead.
It's believed he has been told his son is dead and that his wife has been charged with his murder.
Ms Linse bought a three-storey property in Haverfordwest for £175,000 in April 2022 where neighbours said she home-schooled her son and his older sister.

Police were called to the property, a former physiotherapy studio, at 10.45am on Wednesday following the death of her son.
Hospital doctor Sean Phelan, 69, who lives next door said: 'I was asleep when the police arrived - I woke up to find the street had been sealed off.
'All I know is that there was a serious incident involving a child.
'The lady was always quite friendly to me but I didn't know her well. I've never seen a man there.
'The children were well looked after, well-dressed and well behaved. There has never been any trouble here before.'
A nearby Samaritans charity shop had to lock up for the day while police and forensic officers were at the scene.
The offices of Preseli-Pembrokeshire Welsh Assembly member Paul Davies are just four doors away.
A single bunch of flowers was laid outside the property while forensic officers were inside examining the scene.
Ms Linse describes herself on social media as a 'Mom and freelancer with two British kids.'
A Dyfed-Powys Police spokesman said: 'We were called to an address in Upper Market Street at 10.45am on Wednesday, January 10.
'Sadly, a seven-year-old boy was confirmed to have died shortly after. Our thoughts remain with his loved ones at this tragic time.'
