She was exhausted from looking after her. That’s usually the lame excuse when a child murders their parent here

Yep! No doubt it’s another case of full time carer becoming a part time murderer.

Yes, definitely nursing fatigue. Something that can occur to you. RIP.

I cannot help but feel a pang of sympathy. Her mother was likely severely infirm. She was likely without assistance. It’s wrong but people can only take so much. One hopes the justice system will deal with her with mercy.
