A 49-year-old Melbourne woman has pleaded guilty to stabbing her mother in the stomach because the elderly woman complained about the way her chops were cooked.
Thomastown woman Julie Smith pleaded guilty in the Victorian Supreme Court to stabbing her 70-year-old mother 48 times in the stomach with a butter knife.
The court heard the mother, an invalid, who was confined to her bed most of the time, was unhappy because the lamb chops her daughter prepared for her were not cooked enough.
The court heard Smith cooked the chops further for her mother before saying: "Here's your tea is it good enough for you?"
The daughter then smashed the plate over her mother's head, before attacking her with the knife.
Smith's lawyer told the court his client was terrified of her mother but had ended up being her full-time carer.
He said she simply snapped under the weight of fear, stress and anxiety.
The hearing continues.

The daughter then smashed the plate over her mother's head, before attacking her with the knife. That was uncalled for.

I'm sure her attorney is absolutely right, but 40 years in prison should take care of that.

Its all because those Aussie's don't have the right to own guns. Otherwise, she'd have shot her.

Can anyone point out the exact moment when this became hell on earth?I think that it has always been here. The thing now is that we have instant worldwide media coverage via the net and cable tv.

Poor woman. Everybody hates a bad cooked meal. Who was fed up with who. "How many dang times you gonna burn those chops?"
It takes a lifetime of frustration to build and then just explodes over "burnt toast" or in this case, chops.
