A Massachusetts judge has denied motions to dismiss the murder case of Lindsay Clancy, the US woman accused of murdering her three children, according to local US media.

The judge's ruling comes after Clancy's defence team requested dismissal of the case after her first trial ended in a mistrial in September, when a 12-person jury failed to reach a consensus.

The ruling clears the way for prosecutors to pursue the case. They could reduce the charges in a potential second trial or dismiss them altogether.
